ProudGrandma Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 do you ever buy books that your kids LOVE that they found at the library? I want to buy my daughter a few books for Christmas...and I am not sure which ones to get...the only titles I can think of are ones that she has checked out a thousand times from the library...would that be ok???

Dandelion Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yes, in fact I did just that. DS kept checking out a certain series of books again and again. I bought him 8 books from that series for Christmas (the complete series has around 60 books, so this is just a start). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yes, I have. My daughter (now graduated from college) would ask for books that she already knew she liked. It was a rare thing for her to ask for a new book. Typically she would do that only with a favorite author. Which library books are your daughter's favorites?

marbel Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sure. I have done that, many times. My kids are happy to receive favorite books as gifts. We don't buy a lot of books - after years of buying everything, reading it once, and having to get rid of it. I want to be sure books are keepers. Once I made a mistake though. I bought a boxed set of a trilogy just a little too late, and he was over it. Oh well, it was only once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yes, we like the library as a "try before you buy" book source. If a book is worth checking out/renewing more than once, it's one I'll probably buy. This goes for me as well. I especially appreciate the cookbook section: so many cookbooks sound great, and then there are only about three recipes I'd really want to use. It keeps me from wasting money.

Kareni Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I bought these for her...she has checked them out endless times... They all sound like wonderful books, NEprairiemom. I suspect she'll have a happy time with the familiar favorites as well as the new title. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 This year Miss E asked me for the entire Magic Treehouse series. I said, don't you have those at your school library? (She had been reading a bunch of them.) She said yes, but she'd like to read them more than once. I remember also having favorite books that I would read over and over. So I ordered the books (I do have another kid about to grow into them too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
