HOUSTON, TX - Families gathered at Houston Public Library’s (HPL) Central Library location on November 5 for a special treat: a stop on the tonies® Tour. Kids were given the chance to play with the brand-new Toniebox 2, a screen-free audio player that lets children dive into stories and songs just by placing a Tonie character on top. 

And the fun didn’t stop there. Tonies® made a generous donation to HPL families: five Tonieboxes and 25 Tonies figurines, a gift valued at $1,000, so that more children can enjoy storytelling at home.

Tonieboxes may be placed on hold and checked out from HPL's Library of Things collection with a valid MYLink library card.

“We selected Houston Public Library because of their long-time support and interest in tonies®. We’re thrilled to partner with HPL to bring screen-free storytelling to families across the community,” says Drew Vernon, Director of Education, tonies®. “Their continued support of early literacy makes them an ideal partner for tonies ® on Tour. Together, we’re creating moments where children can engage with stories in a tactile, interactive way that sparks creativity and fosters a lifelong love of reading."

“Houston Public Library is proud to host tonies® and share this exciting resource with our community,” says Sandy Gaw, Library Director. “By combining technology with storytelling, we’re opening new doors for children to discover the joy of reading in creative, hands-on ways.” 

“We are grateful for tonies®’ commitment to fostering literacy and imagination. This donation helps us provide families with innovative tools that make reading and storytelling more accessible and engaging,” said Nicholas Sawicki, Executive Director, Houston Public Library Foundation. 

About tonies® 
Tonies® is a playful audio system for children, where stories and songs come to life without screens. It works with small figurines called Tonies that are placed on a soft, kid-friendly speaker called the Toniebox. As soon as a Tonie is on, the magic begins: music, adventures, or learning moments start playing. It’s hands-on, easy to use, and built to spark imagination, confidence, and fun.
