E-Books are tumbling right towards you with the NEW Tumble Book Library.
This great resource allows you to access tons of books that have read along features and some animated books (books that are made into a movie of sorts). There are also loads of quizzes and you can make your own account with favorite books bookmarked to it.
Check it in the library or at home, just go to Westwoodlibrary.org and under Library Resources click Electronic Resources, there you will find Tumble Book Library.
Westwood Public Library is celebrating Valentine's Day with some love-infested displays of books and movies. Check out the display for a variety of stories having to do with... you guessed it: Love (or at least LIKE).
First crushes, first kisses, first love.
Check out the new books Boy Project (Notes and Observations of Kara McAllister) by Kami Kinard and Fake Me a Match by Lauren Barnholdt for all the girl-meets-boy drama you could ask for.
We also have some other favorites like Ella Enchanted, Kissing Brendan Callahan, Romeo and Juliet-Together (and alive?) at Last, Cloudy with a Chance of Boys, and many more!
Movies with love drama: Princess Diaries, High School Musical, Gnomio and Juliet, Camp Rock 2, and The Corpse Bride (trust us on this one).
Enjoy!
