On June 26, the first community Homeschool Book Exchange was held at the public library. Participants were encouraged to bring items that were gently used and recycle them for materials they were seeking for next year. We bartered, traded and bought some great books from one and another. It was a pleasure to meet new faces and discuss the challenges and benefits of homeschooling.

The Homeschool Book Exchange will be held again next year, second Friday of June. Mark your calendars, bring your wisdom and recycle your books. Hope to see more of you next year!
