- HomeschoolAchievers (Homeschool Achievers) - If you are a homeschooler and are looking for ideas, lesson plans, unit studies, etc., to help your family achieve success I would like to welcome you to this list. If you have been homeschooling and have ideas to share, I most certainly welcome you to this list, also. We are always concerned that our children are learning all they need, and that they are enjoying the homeschooling experience, together we can share ideas and concerns to help each other.
By using this format we will be able to exchange ideas, ask questions, and get answers to any of our homeschooling questions, and in the process help our students/children achieve a quality education. As often as possible, please submit to the group ideas, activities, books, programs, and websites that you have explored or would like to explore. Even if something hasn't necessarily worked for your family, it may be the answer another family is looking for. I will plan on coming up with weekly themes for everyone to use if they want and also to submit ideas for.
Remember that this is a family friendly list and that no flaming or spamming is tolerated. Also keep in mind that any heated discussions about politics or religion will have the posters put on moderated mail automatically. We all have our own ideas about both topics and respect must be granted to all. Now let's get this list to jumping!!!

- HomeschoolLibraryConnection (Homeschoolers Influencing Library Purchasing Decisions) - The library can be an awesome resource for homeschoolers, but is useless if it doesn't carry the books that we need.
The sole purpose of the Homeschool Library Connection email list is to help homeschoolers make purchasing suggestions to their public libraries.
I will present titles of interest to homeschoolers, including all of the information that you should need to make a purchasing suggestion to your library -- title, author, publisher, date published, ISBN #, price, and comments.
Let your voice be heard. If your library has a website go to it now and see if you can make purchasing suggestions online. If so, make a suggestion! If not, next time you visit the library ask for a patron request form and then fill it out!
Some tips:
- The form you need to fill out may be called a variety of things: patron request, item request, purchase suggestion, or something similar.
- Sometimes it's easier to ask a main library instead of a suburban or branch library.
- You'll have a better chance of a purchase at a big library than a small one which needs to get rid of books to save room.
- Titles published in the past year are more likely to be purchased. Librarians want their purchases to have a long shelf life and so are weary of older books.
- If you do suggest an older title, make sure to comment that it is a "classic" and will be checked out for years to come.
- Don't give up if you feel that your suggestions are ignored. Your voice will eventually be heard!
- Tell all of your like-minded friends to make purchasing suggestions too. There is power in numbers.
