We love our public library! We are very fortunate to live near one that seems to be quite well funded, new books regularly, book sales several times a year. (However, I learned the hard way that my child is a glutton for books and while my back is turned will buy many since they are 10 cents each. But I digress...)
Knowing the books/genres well is what has distinguished one librarian in particular at our library. She loves that DS is such an advanced reader and makes excellent suggestions based on his interests. She told me she maintains a book list in her work binder of new books or ones she's remembered reading that are good for advanced/prolific readers.
We have also been fortunate in that the private schools DS7 has attended seem to allow him open access to their library books.
