Search our Library Catalog
You can access the ADE Library resources anytime by using our online catalog!
TumbleBooks are a part of our media centers's resources this year, and many new books have been added over the summer, including Penelope and the Monsters, Little Hoot, and Matthew and the Midnght Tow Truck! I've purchased a subscription to this online storybook library that allows students access to over 100 children's picture books at home or at school. (Some of them are even in Spanish and French!) The site also offers learning games related to each of the books, and an option for students to write reviews of the books they enjoy. Just click the blue TumbleBooks banner to visit the site!
If you'd like to know what children's books I'm reading, and what I think of them, take a peek at my Google Book List. I'm keeping a record of all the books I've read from our library, with a short review of each. If you see one you like, I'll be glad to help you find it in our library!
