It's SHOPPING Time!

Join us at the Barbara Bush Branch Bi-Annual Homeschool Curriculum Swap!

As we continue welcoming our growing homeschool community, many families shared the idea of hosting a curriculum swap—and we loved it! This event is a wonderful opportunity to share resources, discover new materials, and connect with fellow homeschool families while supporting our mission of providing access to information for everyone. After all, that's what libraries are all about!
