Tumblebook Library


TumbleBook Library is an online collection of electronic children's books you can access through a link on the library website.
TumbleBooks are created by taking existing picture books, adding animation, sound, music and narration to produce an electronic picture book which you can read, or have read to you.  The library also includes chapter books and classics for older children in audio book and e-book formats, multi-cultural topics, foreign language and bilingual books. Non-fiction books, videos, book reviews through Tumble TV, puzzles, and games add to the versatility of the library. 
Audio books are full length, unabridged, streaming audio books. In addition to the foreign language books, you can choose from a language drop down menu and view the entire website in Spanish or French. Spelling, concentration, and fill-in-the-blank games developed to reinforce concepts from the books and puzzles using illustrations from the books are also available.
Go to the Tumblebook Cloud to access books for Middle School and High School Readers.
