find your local public library

There are many public libraries in the Lehigh Valley, and you can join the Summer Reading Programs and borrow books from any of them. First, though, you have to get a card from your home branch. If you are unsure of where your home library is, check out this link from the Allentown Public Library:

TumbleBooks

Oh my goodness, this website is so cool!  TumbleBooks and TumbleReadables are databases provided FOR FREE by the Parkland Community Library.  On TumbleBooks, students can listen to and read along with popular picture books.  On TumbleReadables, there are books for upper elementary students, middle schoolers and young adults.  There is also a section for the classics and Shakespeare.  Students can read or listen to the full text of novels right on the site.  Check it out and let me know what you think!


(You must access the sites through the Parkland Library website.)
