VOX Books

Kids Books with Audio!

Listen to an audio recording directly from a printed book. 

No wi-fi, computer, tablet or phone is required. Instead an audio reader - attached to the front cover and controlled by a push button - allows your child to listen and read along.

  • VOX Books are available at every open Library location.
  • Titles include fiction and nonfiction in English and Spanish.

How do VOX Books Work?

  • Listen to the story through the speaker in the VOX Reader, or plug in headphones.
  • Turn the page when you hear the special "turn page" signal.
  • Use the buttons on the VOX reader to Play/Pause and adjust the volume.
  • VOX Books are checked out fully charged, and get 150 plays on a full charge. If the red light indicates the battery is runny low, the book can be recharged with a standard micro USB charger.

Borrow and Return

  • VOX Books check out for 21 days.
  • VOX Books can be placed on hold, renewed and returned in Library book drops like regular books.

VOX Books Are a Fun Addition to Your Child's Reading

Following along in a book while being read to is one of the most important early literacy practices!

  • Children learn which sounds make up words, how books work, and the connection between spoken language and written language.
  • They also develop their vocabulary and thinking skills.
