I do collect most of our books at Charity shops or the library. I am on great terms with our Librarian and he lets me know when a bag of books have been donated and the library can't use them. If I can get in there quickly I get first look thru. I often come home with bags full:)The Adventurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129815174861478639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922109062132237281.post-53139731797260330572010-12-29T10:13:15.828+00:002010-12-29T10:13:15.828+00:00HI dthaase, Joy and Sherry,

I always have trouble getting rid of books and it doesn't help that our local library has a bi-annual book sale where books are $1 or less. I have found some great finds for as little as 25 cents! This definitely does not help the book addiction! I recently organized our book shelves in our classroom and told the kids (again) how to carefully place a book back on the shelf with its spine out. Like you, we'll see how long our shelves stay organized! Happy reading :) and I clicked a vote for you today!asliceofsmithlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411785385543404159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922109062132237281.post-8500141512090582182010-12-29T03:36:05.426+00:002010-12-29T03:36:05.426+00:00Wow!

That is why it has taken a year of nagging from my husband to get it done. My kids know that I won't buy them toys but just ask me for a book and I will most likely buy it:) I am so thankful that my husband and I have passed on the love of reading to our children!!!The Adventurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129815174861478639noreply@blogger.com
