[Michlib-l] Yoto players?

[Katie Rothley]

We just added Tonies to our collection; they're somewhat similar to Yoto.
Tonies have a box that you place a figurine on and it will automatically
play stories associated with that particular character. One of our Youth
librarians organized the collection and it is going out any day!
