StoryPlace came about to provide children with the virtual experience of going to the Library and participating in the same types of activities the Library offers at its physical locations. First launched in 2000, StoryPlace has been newly redesigned to present favorite stories and activities in a format compatible with desktop and mobile devices.

The QR codes and links in the document link to story readings on Youtube and all of the books are read aloud by their fabulous authors and illustrators.

Many annotated fairy tales, "including information about their histories, similarities with various tales, bibliographies and other tidbits."
