What a Comprehensive Library!

We went to the library today for the first time in ages. I'm horrible at remembering to return things, and I hate to commit myself to going on a regular schedule, so I've been avoiding the library. It's horrible, because I know my boys need the stimulation.

So after we picked out a huge stack of easy reads and complex scientific books for J, I decided to look up books for myself. I just registered J for kindergarten, so his education has been foremost in my mind. So after failing to find a single Twilight book in the Boise area, I searched for books on gifted children.

There was one, I kid you not, ONE book in the library on the topic. Pathetic. I'll have to get online to put holds on the others and have them brought to the library near me.

Maybe it's all for the better. If I'd brought home a huge stack of them, I'd just have overwhelmed myself. And this one had links to lots of resources that I haven't seemed to find by googling. I'd begun to think that all parents of gifted kids were on their own, that they'd never united to share in the unique challenges we face.
