Kids @ Round Lake Area Public Library http://www.rlapl.org/kids Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:09:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 en hourly 1 Library Dogs! http://www.rlapl.org/kids/?p=728 http://www.rlapl.org/kids/?p=728#comments Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:05:31 +0000 bjackson http://www.rlapl.org/kids/?p=728 As you may know, we offer regular programs Paws To Read–now featuring Fred!–where children are invited to read to a trained therapy dog.  Not only do the children develop a friendship with a warm and cuddly pooch but also they develop their reading skills!  Our library began this program with Lad a few years ago and because of the success of this program it has continued.  However, Round Lake is not the only library participating in this innovative reading encouragement program; many other libraries feature this as well!  Click on the link below to read about other libraries and their library dog!

The Round Lake Area  Library is proud to introduce the TumbleBooks Database, a source for audiobooks and fun!

TumbleBookLibrary is an online collection of animated, talking picture books which teach young children the joys of reading in a format they’ll love. Text is highlighted while being narrated so students can folow along, often in different languages. Games and activities are also part of the e-reading fun.

You can access this database here.

Or, for other e-book listings, visit our E-Book page.  Finally, for a complete list of databases available through the Round Lake Area Library, visit our Databases page via the main website.

Enjoy!
