Reading is pretty important to our family. We like to read to educate and entertain. We do not have a TV and we probably "waste" time reading the way others watch their shows.
This year the choice of physical books is limited in a way we've never experienced before. We only brought a handful of beloved picture books and necessary homeschool books from Canada. As for the rest, we have oodles and oodles of books available through the Internet. Either we download them to the computer or our e-reader, or we read directly online.
We miss the London Public Library. It was a regular occurrence to visit the local branch once, twice, thrice . . . a week. We wonder how our favourite librarians are ever getting along without us. However, the London Public Library does have e-books which we are able to borrow from as far away as Mexico. This has been a blessing to our two oldest.
We have had some technical problems along the way, but over all we are still impressed by what is possible with technology. Perhaps we should have squeezed in a few other picture books for Jeremiah. I'm getting tired of reading "The Happy Many and His Dump truck". However, it is likely that he would request this same book even if there were shelves and shelves of other books.
