Children and families are invited to listen to their favorite stories in children's literature recorded by a player from the Indiana Fever women's basketball team on the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library's free 24-hour Call-a-Story telephone line at 275-4444.
Beginning August 1 and continuing through September 3, Fever players can be heard reading stories from such classic authors as Dr. Seuss, Rosemary Wells and Arnold Lobel. The lineup of Call-a-Fever stories includes:
- Week of August 1 - Katie Douglas reads from "Courage" by Bernard Waber
