Book Inventory
February 1st, 2010 by heidiWe have so many books and it seems that as soon as we buy another shelf it magically fills up. If there’s a book I’ve browsed and think it’s worth getting then I keep my eyes out for when I see it on sale, even if it’s one we won’t need for a few years – C, your math books you’ve raced through so fast that I picked up the series to get us through junior high level math and you’re already in the 5th grade book so I’m glad I did. But now our shelves are bursting and I fear I’m forgetting what we have and not using them.
SO, I think we’re going to start something new. A few times a week we’re going to pull some books off the shelf, regardless of the subject, and spend some time going through them. Today it was an art book, a science textbook, and a geography book. It reminds me of what we own, gets you guys exposed to them so you can explore them later on your own, and helps me feel like these books are getting used. 
If I find some I don’t think we need I can pass them on and hopefully we’ll create a good library in the process of books we want to keep that you enjoy. I don’t know if we’ll just go shelf by shelf and I’ll record titles as we go? Not sure yet, we’ll figure out some system.
