Whisper Tubes use the same science of a doctor’s 
stethoscope—sound waves. The sound waves from your voice are trapped inside and vibrate through the tube and then are reflected on the other side to another person’s ear!
In the library, a whisper tube can carry the conversation from a caregiver to child, from a brother to a sister, from tiny customer and a librarian and even between new friends. The conversations are often rich and hilarious or sometimes as simple as the words “I Love You.”
It is a great way to provide an opportunity to Talk in your library!

Cute inexpensive fun idea. How are libraries handling sanitation issue with these tubes when kids put their mouth to it.
We keep santizing wipes near the tube for customers to use. We also sanitize in the morning, afternoon and evening with a bleach solution.
