[aisle] TumbleBooks

[Michelle Harris]

I had Tumblebooks for several years.  It was well-used, particularly by
teachers in younger grades.  But due to budget cuts this year I made the
decision to switch to epic (which is free).  epic isn't *quite *as good a
collection (in my opinion), but it other ways, teachers liked it better
(the alphabet sounds books got raves from Kindergarten). And teachers liked
the ease of making their own customized collections.  I do have eRead
Illinois also (excellent collection and very affordable), so I feel like I
still offer a good ebook collection.

Just my two cents (which is about all I have left in the budget this year!)
