TumbleTalkingBooks: Your Online Audio Library - is an online audio book library collection of streaming audio books for public libraries and schools. A subscription to TumbleTalkingBooks gives your patrons/students UNLIMITED remote access to your audio book collection.

Like our TumbleBookLibrary and TumbleReadables collections, TumbleTalkingBooks are launched from a link on your library or school website. Your patrons can access the entire collection from any computer with an internet connection.

Your TumbleTalkingBooks are never all checked out, never on hold. As many people can listen to the same book at the same time as you like!!!

Titles include unabridged high quality audio versions of classics of American and world literature, non-fiction, fiction, and children and teen books. We have licensed audio books from audio book publishers like Blackstone Audio, Highbridge Audio, and Naxos Audio. We also offer plays and drama, including all cast versions of popular Shakespeare plays.

The Collection includes 65 Read-Along titles which combine large print online text with complete unabridged narration.

Here's how it works. Once you have previewed TumbleTalkingBooks and are ready to subscribe, we set up a link on your library web site so your readers can immediately enjoy unlimited remote access to your collection. Once you subscribe, we do the rest: We manage the technology. We support the service -- in fact our system can support a virtually unlimited number of simultaneous users, so readers never "compete" for limited library resources. By using technology to deliver literacy, TumbleTalkingBooks takes a load off precious library resources while at the same time enhancing service and access to library members and readers.

TumbleTalkingBooks is ideal for readers of all ages and abilities and those learning English as a second language. TumbleTalkingBooks also offers a new category of library service to visually or mobility impaired members who want access to high quality recordings of popular books, delivered 24/7 to their computer via the Internet. For those who can't easily visit your library, TumbleTalkingBooks delivers -- using a link your library web site -- high quality recordings of some of most popular books in the world right to your member's home computer - no signouts, no CDs or cassettes, no return date -- your member just logs on, chooses from your growing collection, and starts listening.

TumbleTalkingBooks lets your members listen to their book of choice, whenever they want, for as long as they want, and then bookmark their place and return and listen again at their convenience. Some people listen to TumbleTalkingBooks for an hour today - while preparing dinner or doing work around the house. Others listen to TumbleTalkingBooks as a shared family reading experience. Students and book clubs can use TumbleTalkingBooks for study and review of books they are studying in printed form. Seniors and visually-impaired readers enjoy TalkingTumbleBooks for their ease of access, low cost, and the high quality recordings, such as full cast versions of popular Shakespeare plays.
