I'm Rich in Books



Visiting the library just makes me feel, well, RICH! Good books energize my resolve to teach, and clarify the direction our unit of study will take. Basically, I just use what is available to us at the library. After our library visit, I cannot wait to dig into our treasure of Africa-related books and CD's!

An Amazon order of a few books just doesn't have the same effect on me as a huge pile of 35 books on all different topics from the library. And yes, I pay some fines, but it's so tiny compared to what buying all my books new would cost. I feel like "a rich man" with my small fortune of books!


Does anyone else LOVE visiting the library? Does it energize your teaching?

It looks like you had a VERY productive library trip! Those all look so great. I just wish I could check out that many at my library. It is frustrating that I can only check out 6 books at a time. Each of my kids can check out 4 a piece and that is it!
Thank you for visiting my blog. You have a gorgeous blog. It is a delight to visit. :)
~Have a blessed day.

Me! Me! (raising and wildly waving my hand.) I love the library too and I feel just like you do about feeling rich with all of those books that I tote home. And boy, it sure looks like you picked some real treasures this week! Enjoy them and I hope and pray that Miss M is feeling better by now. Have a great week.
