Looking to refresh your homeschool resources? Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Bi-Annual Homeschool Curriculum Swap! Swap gently used curriculum, share ideas with fellow homeschoolers, and find new materials for the upcoming school year.

As we continue our efforts to welcome our growing homeschool families and groups, the idea of a curriculum swap has come to our attention. We loved it! What a great opportunity to provide a space to share resources and continue our mission of access to information for all! It's what libraries are built to do.
