Whoa! That‘s the first time I’m hearing this… Never thought there would be a school without a library. It’s like how do you school without books?!? This is heart breaking…

I like when I get to take my kids to CHOP for doctors appointments. They have shelves of books for kids to take home and read, free of charge.

I encouraged my 9 year old to get the Sideways Stories from Wayside High. She took one but told me she didn't like the book.

It's one of the crappy things about having a kid in the public school. Luckily I'm a Sahm so I can take my kids to the public library once a week. Our elementary has a small library (maybe 300 books?) but the kids can't take them home so the opportunity to read them is limited.

I feel you on that!!! My kids are in public school as well. They have a library but this year has been a bit more difficult with getting books my son is interested in reading because there’s such a limited number of them. Libraries are hard for us to get to, so we try to get the books online through Libby. More often I end up buying the books and they’re very costly as my kids get older. We keep them in great condition and we’ll donate them back to the community when we’re done with it. Books are one thing I’m willing to spend on and pass on…
