I agree that the usual "youth racks" at the library are hard to filter through. Does your library system allow you to search online or request them that way? I use that most of the time for our "school reading." I'll take the SOTW reading list, Caldecott, Great Book list, or whatever we're working through and order the books through the search engine. The library sends me an email notice when the books are in, and I can just run in to the front desk and check them out.

When our kids run through a book an hour, even cheap books add up fast. I'm constantly carting old books to our attic, but they still take over their rooms!!
