All it takes is a few words from a storybook to connect young children over a radio station’s broadcasts. Radio may not be the most modern technology, but it has been reaching out to children in many parts of the United States during the coronavirus crisis. It even reaches the most remote towns and villages in Alaska, many of which lack good internet connections. The public library in the town of Homer, Alaska got creative when it had to close during the pandemic. It is now partnering with a radio station to bring a story hour to very young children.
