Online Books Tumblereadables

 

We now have access to Tumblereadable books, an online subscription service that includes classics and teen fiction.

Ask me (Miss House) for the log in information, or there are bookmarks at the desk with the user id and password written on the back. Once you log in, it takes you to your choice of books. It's well worth checking out.

The site will always be available to your left under Library Web Page Links--Online Books Tumblereadables.
