[quote=Anonymous]1000+ books, about half Fiction, half non-fiction (many from grad school). Both of us are big readers. We save books we might consider reading again or think the kids might eventually read (which is a lot) and donate others to LFL if they were books that we thought someone would like. The nonfiction honestly needs to be pruned a bit and those unwanted books will get donated to second story books in Rockville since they are too niche for a LFL. Kids both have big bookshelves full of chapter books and we have crates of picture book favorites in the attic for theoretical grandchildren. We routinely donate kids books to LFL or simply put out a box for free pickings on our high traffic sidewalk. The library never seems to have what we want when we want it and I’m willing to shell out money for books—especially if it means that my kids always have a book that they like and are actively reading.
