My five kids range in age from 3 months old to 8 years. You can imagine that our bookshelves have a bit of variety to them.  We also homeschool.  So go ahead and re-imagine those bookshelves.  That’s the problem actually, overflowing bookshelves.  I recently decided to tackle the book situation in our home.  My husband and I believe that children should be surrounded by books, and see us reading as often as possible.  So far, we have succeeded in both aspects; however, it was time for a clean out.  I elected to sort through what we owned and categorize it all:  Donations, Homeschool Read-Alouds for all kids, Homeschool by age, Independent Learning to Read, Classics, Daytime Books, Nighttime Books, Baby and Toddler Books.
