Stocking our home library





We're 6months into homeschooling and still stocking up our library. I know this is not much, but I'm totally excited because it's just the start.

Stocking up a home library can be a very expensive project so we are doing a combination of approaches as we go along:
  • buying already used books from some friends.
  • Buying from the Ghana Book Trust.
  • We also buy from EPP Bookshops- they do a great job stocking children's books by Ghanaian / African writers.
  • And of course our curriculum comes with on average 12-15 additional reading books each year.
  • We also get to borrow books from the Accra library which offers an opportunity to borrow about 30+ books per year for as little as ghs35! Not bad at all huh? 
  • Hopefully in the short term, we'll open our library to the other children in the neighbourhood who'd otherwise not have access to a library.

We have heard great things about a few other places which we are yet to visit. We'll share our experiences and thoughts when we finally make the time check those places out.
Where do you get books for your kids here in Accra?
