Welcome to StoryLine!

StoryLine is a phone system that children can call at any time (24/7) and listen to a story for free*.  The stories are read by local performing artists.  Check our calendar to see what story is playing.   FYI: Storyline is 19 years old! 

StoryLine is really very simple--just three easy steps:

1. Pick-up the phone
2. Dial 952-352-1350
3. Listen to a local Minnesota actor reading a wonderful children's book.

The goal is to increase literacy by making stories always accessible and making literature enjoyable.  The U.S. Commission on Reading report “Becoming a Nation of Readers” states that “…reading aloud to children is the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading,”  which is linked to success in school.  StoryLine is another way for children to get that all-important 20 minutes a day of reading.   And it is simple enough for a child to access independently.
