TumbleBooks Library & TumbleMath.  TumbleBooks are animated, talking picture books which teach kids the joy of reading in a format they’ll love.

Elizabeth residents who do not currently have a card, I am working with Library staff to provide card registrations remotely during this difficult time.  More information will be provided when this service has been set up.
