July TumbleBooks Book Club

How It Works

  • Ask your library if they have access to TumbleBooks. It could be linked through your libraries website under ebooks. For access through the Albany Public library go here (my local library.)
  • Read one of the suggested books a week with your kid(s.) I’d love to hear their thoughts on the books too!
  • Comment on this post, or write your own blog post about the experience. Let me know which book was your favorite.
  • If you have a blog you can add our badge to your post/site to encourage others to join in.
