Living Books
“One more thing is of vital importance; children must have books, living books.
The best is not too good for them; anything less than the best is not good enough.”
~ Charlotte Mason, Parents and Children, Pg 279
"For the children? They must grow up upon the best . . . There is never a time when they are unequal to worthy thoughts, well put; inspiring tales, well told. Let Blake's 'Songs of Innocence' represent their standard in poetry DeFoe and Stevenson, in prose; and we shall train a race of readers who will demand literature--that is, the fit and beautiful expression of inspiring ideas and pictures of life."
~ Charlotte Mason, Parents and Children, Pg 263
"Our business is to give him mind-stuff, and both quality and quantity are essential. Naturally, each of us possesses this mind-stuff only in limited measure, but we know where to procure it; for the best thought the world possesses is stored in books; we must open books to children, the best books; our own concern is abundant provision and orderly serving."
~Charlotte Mason, Philosophy of Education, Pg 117

Library Content Disclosure
The Bookery makes selections based primarily off of commonly used book lists and we have not personally pre-viewed every book in the collection. While the collection is intentionally curated, it is still the responsibility of each parent to use discretion in selecting books for their family. If at anytime you discover something objectionable, please alert the Library Administrator.
The Bookery’s mission is to support home education through making available a variety of high quality reading materials and resources related to commonly used Charlotte Mason curriculums as well as to preserve out of print and hard to find books and well written materials disappearing from public library shelves.
