Wow. I want to see pictures of her library.

[@GratefulWindee]

True.I hope Sonya will one day show pictures of their libraries!

[@GGlovescj]

I love Karen’s voice she should do books on tape :-)

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Thanks for reaching out with your kind words and feedback!

[@victoria9663]

I LOVE her response about trusting her children to come to her if there was something troubling in the books. Bless her for not micromanaging, and trusting her children to be discerning. Love this series on home libraries. ❤️

Such an encouraging video.We fall into the category of having a small house.Some of our books are stacked on our (side) stairs :-) :-)

Thank you so much for this video! I just love when Karen gets to join in, such a sweet soul and so much wisdom! Thank you!

[@TheLeschFamily]

Karen, you're information is so wonderful. I love hearing how you did this! Might you share a picture in the future of your collection?

[@GGlovescj]

Yes please I second that request 🙋🏽‍♀️

The comments about the grandchildren are spot on. We became grandparents a lot earlier than expected and the fact that we had all those beautiful picture books was a special gift. Our daughter could read her own old favourites to her daughter and so could we. Book treasures never wear out in value. The app sounds really intriguing. Thank you from country Australia.

I thank God my mom has tucked books in every book and cranny of their home since I can remember ❤

[@MrMemoawad]

Is there any link for this software App?

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Thanks for reaching out with your question! The software referenced in this episode is linked in the blogpost version which you can find at the link below: simplycharlottemason.com/blog/organizing-a-large-home-library/

5,000 though it's not the number, but developing the love of learning in your children. I use a digital library catalog as well. My tip would be know what you have and where it is. We use our home library to engender curiosity, humility, and reference. Old books are great for detail and alternative viewpoints.

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

Thank you for sharing what has worked well for your family!

[@fullcasitafullheart9476]

Thank you for all the you do! These videos bless me so much.

[@KristynLorraine]

Great tips and suggestions!

[@dionneboozer]

Thank you so much!

[@julysanchez-sadowski7086]

It looks like the app mentioned is only for Apple, does anyone know of an Android version?

[@SimplyCharlotteMason]

We're not familiar with all the options out there; Karen likes the apps she suggested. Goodreads and LibraryThing are two online apps that might do something similar and work across any device.
