For almost two years, we lived where it was very difficult to access a public library. You know what happened? I very quickly started hitting up used book stores and homeschooler book swaps, jumped on free book offers, and even bought some books new. When we left that apartment, we had 9 more boxes of books than we moved in with, SMH. Now we can easily access a library again and I’ve bought very few books in the last year, in large part due to interlibary loan!! A priceless civic treasure.
Not only can you get “The Story of the World” books and audio CDs (vol. 1-4), you can get almost all of its recommended readings from Minuteman Library Network or the BPL network. 👍👍😃😃 A book can be in a library in another town or just across town in another branch and you can still get it delivered to a library near you. I am so grateful for this public service!!
TLDR: Interlibrary loan is free and is an absolute treasure for homeschooling!
