Tumble Book Library has over 1100 titles for grades K-6, and includes our unique animated, talking picture books, read-along chapter books, National Geographic videos, non-fiction books, playlists, as well as books in Spanish and French. Plus, the collection features Graphic Novels – a kid favorite! There are no check-out times or wait lists: the books are always available to everyone!

It’s a great resource for tech-savvy kids, and teaches them the joy of reading in a format they’ll love.

Our STEAM collection now has a real microscope that you can use in the library. There are also four sets of prepared slides that you can use with the microscope. Just ask at the Youth HELP desk on the lower level of the library and someone will help you set it up. The microscope was a generous donation from one of our patrons.

Beanstack is a service provided by the Plymouth District Library to help families discover books based age and interests. Once you sign up, Beanstack will send you a weekly email with a book recommendation, a learning tip, and a library program suggestion. You will also have access to tools that help you keep track of what books have been read, booklists, and more!

The Plymouth District Library is proud to be part of the 1000 Books Foundation and their program 1000 books Before Kindergarten. We will have information, reading logs, and booklists to help get you started. Then every time your child reaches 100 books, come back to the library, show us your reading log, and get a bookmark and sticker for your child. You can also log your books online in Beanstack.

Watch movies, TV shows, and documentaries in categories like literary classics, language learning, shorts, food and nutrition, history, and more – for kids of all ages.
