Effective January 23, 2023, TumbleBookCloud Junior resources will be combined into TumbleBookLibrary and TeenBookCloud. This change will result in a loss of 128 audiobooks. The books previously in TBC JR will remain but the location of the content may change. This will impact direct links in curriculum lessons and resources. Curriculum offices are working to update links for upcoming units. Contact the content-specific office if a broken link is missed in the process. A complete list of direct links is available on the TumbleBook Library List Jan 2023.
