Personal libraries are more important than ever in today's world. Beyond the educational benefits of owning a home library, there are other more impactful reasons to create one. Below are the four main sources we use to build out our library. - Library discards at local library. - Book Bazaar which are in most big cities. - Online sources such as FaceBook Marketplace, Ebay, Thiftbooks- Estate sales that are selling books. There may be additional ways to find books in your area but these four ways have worked great for us.

Send us a textThis book changed the way I view the world. Everything I thought I knew about our public school system and compulsory education was a lie. Weapons Of Mass Instruction will illuminate things you always felt but never quite understood. This book will leave you pondering its contents for weeks and months after reading it. It is controversial and it may make you angry.  It may even change the way you educate your family. Mr. Gatto does a great job at laying the issues out before you and allowing you to see for yourself what the political and economic elite have put us all through. I hope you enjoy the video. 1.
