While the library is closed and we cannot enjoy a physical copy of BookPage magazine, the publisher has made it available digitally for all our patrons. Enjoy!
TumbleBooks, a world leader in online children's book databases, announced it will make its family of online libraries available for free to all public libraries until at least August 31. TumbleBooks has created online access for our patrons to more than just children’s books. The links below give access to our patrons to their audiobook cloud (all ages audiobook database), their romance book cloud (a huge collection of steamy romance novels for the older crowd), their teen book cloud (grade 7-12 database), tumble math (K-6 math ebook database) and their most known product, tumble books for children (K-6 children's book database).
