Getting To Know Our Digital Resources
Did you know Pembroke subscribes to many digital resources that are available to Pembroke students? Resources can be found on both ClassLink and the library website. See the tutorials below to learn more about Trueflix, Pebble Go, and Tumblebooks.
Trueflix and Pebble Go are two nonfiction databases our school library subscribes to that are made just for kids. These are great places to begin student research or for exploring for on your own!
Tumblebooks is a database that has a treasure trove of animated stories, both fiction and nonfiction.
