Kids Books with Audio!
Listen to an audio recording directly from a printed book.

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

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.
