    Description

    Reid Park Zoo Key
    The Talking Story Book System was an educational series of recordings in a loud speaker placed near many of the animal enclosures at various zoos. There was about a 1 minute narration about the animal's habitat and other interesting facts.
    San Francisco was the first zoological park to feature this key activated device. They implemented this in 1959.
    Keys were sold at gift/ souvenir shops or at refreshment stands throughout the park and kids just loved working their key in the talking books.
    The first designs utilized an elephant style key and it was a mechanical system where rotating the key would hit a switch to activate the recording.
    This zoo has featured several animal styles and colors over the years.
    This
