Attending library book sales ...

... is a wonderful way to expand your homeschool library.

We spent a few dollars yesterday and came home with over 20 books.

My favorite is Lessons in Citizenship published in 1928. There are inklings of socialism, unfortunately, but otherwise it is very sound. It provides an amazing look into a bygone era.

Another interesting book is American History: For God For Country. I can't say what date it was published as the first few pages are missing but it still struck me as an excellent find.

A frivolous purchase was How Flecher Was Hatched. I owned this book as a child and it was a favorite. My 3 year old daughter has claimed this copy as her very own and has paged through it several times.

I also visited our local thrift shop and picked up a music theory textbook and found a set of nice books at a rummage sale.
