I. Dial a Story – 416-395-5400

Happy fifth birthday Sammy,

I thought I would send you this page of wonderful links to really cool sites that will help you learn to read, not be bored, and help take care of your little brother when he gets on your nerves. This is a very special phone number – you can use it to DIAL – A – STORY whenever you need one ….

Children of any age can hear stories over the phone 24 hours a day.

416-395-5400

Dial-a-Story includes stories in the following languages:

* English
* French
* Cantonese
* Gujarati
* Italian
* Mandarin

* Spanish
* Polish
* Portuguese
* Somali
* Tamil
* Urdu

There are stories for younger children (7 and under) and for older children (up to 12).

  1. HI SAMMY,

    Happy Birthday…..

    I am sending you this link to share with your mom and dad and baby brother.
    I hope it gives you a lot of hours of happy reading ….

    Thanks again for all of the times you share your daddy with the students he coaches.

    You inspire him, and you inspire me, to make a difference.

    And all you had to do was be you, go figure – have fun, and a wonderful day,

    Love,

    Auntie Cookie in the great white north,

    Janet Charette, MLS,
    Children’s Librarian
