The Importance of a Home Library - Mom Heart

Today I'm over at Mom Heart-I Take Joy talking about how my family established a home library on a budget through the years. 

An excerpt from Mom Heart...

There was almost always a new book to unwrap under the Christmas tree, whenever possible a much longed for volume that could be read and cherished... perhaps even Christmas Day.

I have always had a small-ish library of favorite volumes, even before my daughter was born.  Then as she grew older and later after my son was born (who desired his own boy-ish stories), I came to realize how important it was for them to own their own books.

The rest of the story can be found.... HERE!   :)

There is something that brings the written word to greater value when your name is on the flyleaf and you know there is not a date stamped for which it must be returned.
As a young bride, I read books by women I admired and most of them said they found it invaluable to have a bookshelf wholly dedicated to books about homemaking, mothering, marriage, and living life as a Christian woman.
