The current file consists of the current years content, plus the last two full years worth of content. Any new content loaded into Safari is automatically added to the Safari Current File product (within the current and two previous years). Two simultaneous users for each library. This is different than current subscriptions where libraries are limited to 100 title slots.

The TumbleBook Library is a collection of licensed titles from children's book publishers such as Scholastic, Chronicle Books, Candlewick Press, Harcourt, Walker and Company and others.
