What keeps you from making the best use of your local library? For me, it’s the likelihood of losing my sanity. :)

On this episode of the Read-Aloud Revival, Jamie Martin- editor of Simple Homeschool and blogger at Steady Mom– shares a perspective that we can use the library in any way that fits our family right now, in the season we’re in.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • some strategies she’s used for using the library without getting overwhelmed
  • how she’s formed a relationship between her kids and her local librarians
  • and about how the way we use the library can change and evolve over time
