Discover Storytime Anytime with CMRLS Online Resources
At CMRLS, we are proud to offer a variety of online resources designed to educate, entertain, and inspire readers of all ages. For families with young children, we know how important storytime can be in helping little ones develop a love for reading and learning.
Does your child enjoy being read to? We have the perfect resource for you.
By visiting the CMRLS homepage and following the links provided, families can access several engaging children’s resources from the comfort of home. One featured service is our Dial-A-Story program — a simple and fun way for children to enjoy a story anytime.
With Dial-A-Story, all you have to do is call the phone number (601-919-2090) listed on our website, and your child can listen as a pre-selected story is read aloud. It’s an easy, convenient option for bedtime, quiet time, car rides, or anytime your little reader wants to hear a great story.
We invite you to explore all the digital resources available through CMRLS and discover new ways to make reading part of your family’s everyday routine.
Bring Stories to Life with Storyline Online
For children who enjoy a more interactive reading experience, CMRLS also offers access to another wonderful online resource — Storyline Online.
Storyline Online allows children to watch engaging videos of books being read aloud while following along with the illustrations on screen. This unique experience combines storytelling and visual learning, helping young readers stay engaged while building important literacy skills.
Getting started is simple. Just visit the CMRLS homepage, follow the steps provided, and browse through a wide selection of children’s books available through Storyline Online. Once your child chooses a story, simply press play and enjoy.
As the story is read aloud, children can watch the pages come to life through colorful illustrations and expressive narration. This resource is perfect for independent viewing, family reading time, classroom enrichment, or quiet afternoon activities.
Storyline Online is a fun and effective tool that encourages a love of reading while helping children strengthen comprehension, vocabulary, and listening skills. We encourage families to explore this exciting resource and make storytime even more memorable.
At CMRLS, we are committed to providing resources that fit seamlessly into the lives of the families and communities we serve. We are more than just a library building — we are a community resource and a gateway to lifelong learning.
While we always enjoy welcoming you and your family into our local branches, we understand that visiting in person is not always possible. That is why we are proud to offer online services that help ensure children continue to have access to stories, learning opportunities, and educational enrichment anytime and anywhere.
Resources like Dial-A-Story and Storyline Online allow children to experience the joy of reading even when the library is closed or when families are unable to visit a branch. These convenient tools help encourage literacy, imagination, and a love for books from the comfort of home.
We encourage you to take advantage of these valuable resources and continue making reading a meaningful part of your child’s everyday routine. At CMRLS, supporting learning and connecting our community to knowledge will always remain at the heart of what we do.
