40% of the weight of our move three years ago was books. We love books. Even though we have plenty of options on our shelves, we frequent our library in normal times. With the closure of libraries, we have turned to our home library over the last few weeks, sometimes turning to a classic we have intended to read or revisiting a favorite book. One of our daughters set up a book nook in a window sill, with rotating book options. I like this idea. A few chosen books put out in a visible spot will be picked up and read more often than a large bookshelf crammed with books. Books can be chosen randomly or by subject, author, or theme. Your family can also take turns curating the collection.
