I never thought I'd get rid of any of my children's books...especially if they are in good working order. For years I tried to build up my classroom library and believe that the more books kids have to choose from, the better.
As I clean out the clutter in my house, and realize that more is not always better, I have to apply that same concept to our children's books. We have no shortage of books in this house, and there are some that no one has ever read nor shows any interest in. Some of them were even given especially to one of my children, you know, signed on the inside cover with the person it's from. I have always felt it was wrong to give something like that away.
But when I found out that the MMCenter has children's books on it's Wish List, I decided that some of our books should go there. We just have so many, and it is heartbreaking to me that some kids may not have their own books to read. Knowing that someone else needs and wants them makes it easier to part with our books.
So, into the MMCenter donate box (which is growing quite large by now, I will actually need to take it all in soon!)
Today's Toss:
