A display of Caldecott award winners has been set up; in

New at the Library: E-books for Kids

TumbleBookLibrary, a collection of animated, talking picture books, is now available from Tolland Public Library, through a generous gift from the Tolland Public Library Foundation.  TumbleBooks are created from existing picture books and adding animation, sound, music, and narration to produce an electronic book which you can read, or have read to you.  Tumble Books are designed to teach kids the joy of reading in a format they'll love.  You can access this new resource on any computer in the library, and through a link on the library webpage: www.tolland.org/library.
