We’re thrilled to announce that Martin Township Public Library received a grant from RAILS to purchase Tonieboxes and Tonies for the library!

We have 4 Tonieboxes and 30 Tonies for patrons to checkout and use at home.

(The Toniebox is a screen-free, durable audio player for children that plays stories, songs, and audiobooks when small figurines, called Tonies, are placed on top.)

Please share this post to spread the word!
