library trips

Today we checked out 68 books from the library:
One of the best things I've done in homeschooling is to start going to the library! We had bad luck with the Spanish Fork library, so my brother let us have his library card to the Provo library. We go with the stroller (I put baby in a snuggli pack) and the boys choose readers for their reading time, picture books and nonfiction books; I choose read aloud books and books I want to use for their school. We can also get music cd's, books on cd, dvd's, etc. Provo has NO limit for books!

When we get home, I sort the books into piles and keep them in laundry baskets and cardboard boxes (Alex's readers, Nathan's readers, math books, storybooks, nonfiction books, etc.). When I notice they aren't using the books as much, I have them go through the books and put them in "keep" and "take back piles". I can renew them online.
