From the library's homepage, select Databases A-Z, either in the top navigation bar or beneath the catalog search.

UW Superior library site with an arrow pointing to the Databases A-Z icon in the navigation bar and the Databases A-Z icon beneath the library catalog.

This page is a list of the databases the library has access to. It can be filtered based on the first letter of a database by clicking on the letters, narrowing your search by Subject, or searching by the title of the database, like in the image below.

The databases most likely to house children's books are Hoopla and Tumblebooks. Tumblebooks is an online collection of specifically children's e-books, whereas Hoopla includes collections such as the New York Times Bestsellers: Children's & YA or Read-Along and Read Aloud. 

With Hoopla, you can either search for specific titles, or browse collections by clicking the "Genres & Collections" button in the e-books section. (select e-books under the "Browse" option near the search bar.) 

Once you've found a book you'd like to borrow, click on the title and click "Borrow." 

 

With Tumblebooks, you can either browse the collections, or search through TumbleSearch. 

With TumbleSearch, you can search not just by title, author, subject, genre or language, but also Accelerated Reader level and Lexile.

When you've found a book you'd like to read, click "Read online"
