Books, Books, and more Books!

 

As of this year, 2014, the Homeschool Book Shop is closed in Spokane.  Here is the article about the store anyway.  Thank you Amber for all your hard work!

The Homeschool Book Shop is a consignment book store in Spokane.  For over a year now it has been an asset to the homescholing community here and I thought I would tell about it on this blog.  Photos by me... Lisa

The book store is on N. Wall and it is owned and operated by the lovely Amber McGuire as see in the photo below.






If you are homeschooling, or if you just like good books, and if you live or find yourself visiting in Eastern Washington or Idaho, then this is one shop to stop at in your meandering around town.

I so seldom get to spend too much time here, browsing, but I always love it when I do.  The prices are reasonable and the place is well organized and best of all there is a great selection of book.  Besides that, Ms. Amber thinks of  nearly everything to make a person feel at home.  That is what inspired me to tell about this place on my blog.  Kids even like to visit here.

It was not enough that she offers weary bookworms, like me, special deals on books, or that she makes hot soup on Saturdays in the month of January to share with customers who come in for books at a discount price,  nope. In addition to all of that she also puts hand sanitizer and a box of Kleenex in every room along with a little trash basket, just in case you need one.  Amber thinks of nearly everything to make a person feel at home and welcomed.  Everytime I visit here I am impressed with here open doors to the people who visit her store and not only her open heart to homeschool families, but any people who are interested in sharing the wonder of books, homeschooling or not.  Books, after all are for people of all ages.  And Amber has some really great books on her shelves!


An she has shelves!

In this room --->
you will find all sorts of things
for Math and Art

In this room you will find Language Arts materials, spelling, vocabulary, lots of Abeka books... even classic reads.  There is every a yard sale room back a ways in this direction where one can get some really good deals!

In the upstairs area there is Christian books, History, Geography and in a separate room after that is Science.






Downstairs is an area where over the last year, Amber has hosted several classes... like Art with artist Cheryl Ellicot, and a Kids Chess Club too.

If you love books and you are in Spokane... this is the place, especially if you are homeschooling or if you are like me, need to recycle some of your beloved homeschooling and educational books.
Amber also consigns books, if you are interested in that sort of thing.
