Tumblebooks are e-books and e-audiobooks especially tailored for youth and young teens (grades K-6). These books are always available and often have a read-along option. They can be accessed on a computer, or through the Tumblebooks app on your Apple or Android device. Use your library card number to login after you install the app.
Details

All Tumblebooks are always available and never "checked out." However, this also means your device, whether a computer, phone or tablet, needs to be online to use the service.
