Ebooks for Kids at the Gail Borden Public Library!

Did you know there are ebooks for kids?  At the Gail Borden Public Library, you can access ebooks for kids through TumbleBooks.  The TumbleBook Library is a collection of TumbleBooks, which are animated, talking picture books for young children, TumblePuzzles, and TumbleQuizzes.  Older children, teens and adults may want to try Tumble Talking Books which are online audiobooks.

The TumbleBook Library has a large variety of titles in all types of interests including fiction and non-fiction.  There are also titles available in English and Spanish.  The ebooks play on a computer or you can choose to download the books on an IPad.  If you look for titles in the Story Book section there are iPad-compatible TumbleBooks! Chose the green link at the top of the page to launch a book for the iPad, simply click on the iPad icon!

TumbleBooks is a great way to introduce reading and electronic formats to young children.  As children hear the sounds and words, they see the pictures and letters on the screen.  Plus, it's a fun literacy activity children and parents can do together.
