The Round Lake Area  Library is proud to introduce the TumbleBooks Database, a source for audiobooks and fun!

TumbleBookLibrary is an online collection of animated, talking picture books which teach young children the joys of reading in a format they’ll love. Text is highlighted while being narrated so students can folow along, often in different languages. Games and activities are also part of the e-reading fun.

You can access this database here.

Or, for other e-book listings, visit our E-Book page.  Finally, for a complete list of databases available through the Round Lake Area Library, visit our Databases page via the main website.

Enjoy!
