Go Digital!

Looking for that just-right eBook or eAudiobook for your child? Try searching cloudLibrary's digital shelves for a variety of interests, subjects, and reading levels.
Whether it is an ebook or a print book, remember to engage and talk about the story together.  Interaction is the way young children learn!  Talk about the story, encourage your child(ren) to point to pictures, and ask open-ended questions to create a rich, interactive learning experience.
