Our library system has compiled a list of online places to go, like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Brookfield Zoo, the palace at Versailles, and the Met! If you’re looking to get away, RAILS invites you to take a virtual tour or two!

Tumblebooks has opened their full catalog to our library! There are e-books and e-audiobooks available for all ages including adults. TumbleBooks’ databases are easy to use, and feature unlimited access from home! You can read as many books as you want, when you want, and on any device. There are no check-outs, holds, or bulky downloads. Books are available instantly. Select a link and you’re off!

The additional collections will be available through August 31. After that our service will drop back down to the Tumblebook Library for K-6 and require a library card to sign in.

Here is another avenue for finding e-books! The Internet Archive specializes in books published from the 1920s to the 1990s, books for which there is no digital edition except for the Archive’s scanned editions. The Archive is suspending waitlists and providing open access to 1.4 millions volumes through June 30.

From North Star Editions:

“Big Timber Media worked to create bundles which include a selection of our titles from Focus Readers, Little Blue Readers, Jolly Fish Press, and Press Box Books, for readers of all ages. These bundles are web-hosted, which means accessing your eBooks requires an internet connection. Let’s make distance learning a team effort!”

If you want something to make you smile, click on the PreK-2 Collection, then the Animals Collection, and then the “Animals that Dig” book. The photos are so adorable!

Titles for Pre-K to Grade 2

Titles for Grades 3-5

Titles for Grades 6-8

Titles for Grades 9-12

For optimal performance, please log out of one collection before opening another.
