Season 2 of Virtual Story Time with Ms. Jasmine featuring TUMBLE BOOKS!
We're thrilled to share Season 2 - Episode 11 of Virtual Story Time with Ms. Jasmine, filmed at the Viney Jones Library and Community Center! This episode highlights one of our favorite digital resources: the Tumble Book Library, available to all Pinal County Library District patrons.
What is Tumble Book Library?
Tumble Book Library is a rich collection of over 1,100 titles designed for children in grades K–6. It includes animated, talking picture books, read-along chapter books, non-fiction titles, and engaging videos—all curated to foster a love of reading. The platform is accessible online for free with your library card.
In every episode, Ms. Jasmine explores a featured Tumble Book to give families a glimpse of the engaging, interactive reading experiences this digital library offers. The goal of this series is not to replace these books, but to introduce families to the Tumble Book platform—showing how easy and fun it is to use, and encouraging you to explore more stories on your own.
Whether you're a regular Tumble Book user or just getting started, these episodes are a great way to see the magic of digital Story Time in action—and to discover how your local library connects you to a world of reading.
