We’re excited about a brand new digital resource available at the library called TumbleBooks! This eResource is a collection of children’s eBooks with added animation, sound, music, and narration that are perfect for summer reading and entertaining.
TumbleBooks offers digital books on demand, so there are no checkouts, holds, late fees, or fear of spilled apple juice! This makes it perfect for family vacations and road trips since you can use your laptop, tablet, or smartphone to access the books.
With everything from Kate DiCamillo picture books to Ivy & Bean chapter books, and from graphic novels to literacy classics like Treasure Island, young readers are sure to find some new favorites (and maybe even experience their old favorites in new ways).
