Why choose StoryBox Library over other 'free' storytelling websites?
StoryBox Library focuses solely on local stories and voices.
Our library consists of over 500 stories.
We licence rights to use the books in our collection from publishers and rightsholders and a significant portion of subscription fees is used to pay ongoing copyright fees that support creators and, in turn, the ANZ publishing industry.
Each story comes with tailored Classroom Ideas and/or Activity Time that are specifically created for the Australian Curriculum, further connecting children to the themes of each story.
Our storytellers are chosen to ensure a broad range of voices, ages, gender and backgrounds to ensure diversity.
We regularly add new stories, currently 40-60 each year.
Access is free for families and students to access at home via participating public libraries and schools.
Closed Captions are available for each story.
Our website and app are completely free of any advertising.
