In addition to our popular Read-Along Picture Books and Beginning Readers, we now offer Chapter Books with a built-in audio player! These are perfect for elementary kids who are gaining confidence and fluency, or any kids who just enjoy hearing a book read aloud.

They are simple to use, have a long-lasting battery, and you can either listen with the built-in speaker or your own headphones. When you pause the recording, the device will hold your place for you.

Find all of our Read-Alongs at the Library, or request one from home using our online catalog.

We are excited to offer a brand new collection in Youth Services. Read-alongs are books that have an audio player built right into the book, so readers can listen to the audio recording as they page through the story. 

The recording will play out loud through its built-in speaker, or readers can plug in their own headphones or earbuds to listen.

Picture books, nonfiction, beginning readers, and Spanish-language titles are all available now. Browse ourfull list to find your next favorite!
