Thanks to the State Library of Louisiana, we have access to GREAT TumbleBook collections!  You can access them either at the library or anywhere with the use of your library card.  To explore TumbleBooks, click on the “Louisiana Library Connection” icon on our webpage and then look for the following entries on the Library Connection introductory page:

• Audio Book Cloud:  “online streaming audio books for all ages, from TumbleBooks”
• TumbleBook Cloud: “an online collection of ebooks and read-along chapter books, graphic novels, educational videos, and audiobooks”
• TumbleBook Cloud Jr.: “a special edition of TumbleBook Cloud designed specifically for elementary and middle school students”
• TumbleBook Library: “Interactive storybooks, chapter books, nonfiction, language learning, puzzles, and games for kindergarten through sixth grades”

For more information, ask a staff member.  We will be glad to help you get started with the wonderful TumbleBooks collections.  They contain many classic books on school reading lists, books in Spanish for small children to adults, fun puzzles and games for all ages, and much, much more!
