Tumblebooks Available Through Library Website

We are excited to announce that the Public Library has purchased Tumblebooks for our community’s use from our website.  You may access Tumblebooks by going to the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library’s website, www.clarksville.org , then clicking the Children’s Library tab and then accessing Tumblebooks by clicking on “Try our Tumblebooks!!”  We hope that this resource will be useful to you in your homes and classrooms. 

The following is from the Tumblebooks website:

"TumbleBookLibrary is an online collection of TumbleBooks – animated, talking picture books which teach kids the joy of reading in a format they'll love. TumbleBooks are created by adding animation, sound, music and narration to existing picture books in order to produce an electronic picture book which you can read, or have read to you.

The TumbleBookLibrary is a collection of licensed titles from children's book publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Chronicle Books, Candlewick Press, Charlesbridge Press, Harcourt, Little Brown, Walker & Company, Lerner Books, and HarperCollins Publishers, amongst others.

The TumbleBookLibrary provides enrichment to students who are reading independently with a variety of high interest material. It also provides support to students who require skill building with a variety of exercises that can be matched with other areas of the curriculum. In general, TumbleBooks are a great addition to a reading program that can be worked on independently by each child, or student, or by a whole classroom. It has been exceptionally well received by ESL and Special Education teachers.”
