This is a fantastic post by Ruth of The School of the Unconformed over on Substack. If you read through to the end, you’ll find find us mentioned in footnote 3, and also in further reading she recommends the article I wrote a few years ago in The Classical Teacher about Schola Homeschool Library. ☺️

It’s that time of year again! Our read-aloud stack is growing as homeschool ramps up! A few more like Plutarch, Plato, and Dante will be added over the next couple of weeks, but these are read-alouds that I am doing with various sets of kids, even including my 19yo graduate!
What are you reading aloud right now?
Current stack: Eggleston’s A First Book in American History, The Orthodox Church Through the Ages, The Good Master, The Children of the New Forest, The Sign of the Beaver, The Laws of Everyday Life, Shakespeare’s A Winter’s Tale, Oklahoma History

We will be open today (Saturday) from about 1-3 officially. But people will likely be there most of the day, so if another time works better for you, text me and we’ll make sure someone is there. 🙂

Hello friends of the Schola Lending Library! I have some big news, which is why I have been less communicative this semester.
We Are MOVING! As some of you know, my family recently moved from east of Stillwater to west of Stillwater. And soon, so will Schola! But the details of that exciting news will have to wait. Let’s just say that I think all our patrons will be super thrilled with the new library. ❤️
All the books are still at our old home and available for check-out, but we will need to alter our hours over the next month or two. You will still have plenty of time to come peruse our shelves, but just plan for those days to be on Saturdays instead of Fridays. And of course, we can still be open by appointment, or you can request books by email, FB messenger, or text and we can get them to you. Please stay tuned to this space and your email for upcoming open hours.
We want this transition to be as smooth as possible for you, our loyal patrons, so I will try to keep you updated often. If you would like to get more information, or are not yet a patron, please DM me your email address or subscribe to scholalivingbooks.com.
