Crew Review: Homeschool Library Builder

 

Homeschool Library Builder is an online bookstore designed especially for homeschool families.  I spent some time browsing their website recently.  I especially appreciate the ability to search by curricula, whether it be Five in a Row, Sonlight, Ambleside, Tapestry of Grace, and others.  When I clicked on Sonlight, I chose from a list of Cores, and was immediately taken to the first of several pages offering many, if not all, of the books from Core 6. 

I also have a list of books that we are interested in adding to our home library.  Most of these are additional volumes in series that our children have enjoyed.  One in particular, the Highland Years by Melissa Wiley, have become hard to find in the unabridged version.  I did search for these and was unable to find any.  They will do a book search for you, however, if you have a list of titles you desire.

As a member of Homeschool Library Builder, you earn points toward free books with each purchase.  For most of us book addicts, this could be very helpful!  They also participate in a number of service and charitable opportunities, including donating funds toward help for Haiti after the recent earthquake.

Make some hot chocolate, find some shortbread or scones, and take a moment to browse the site and see what you find.  We are all gearing up for another school year.  For those of us who love books, any new bookstore, even online, is inviting.
