My goal was to write something that would be interesting and truly helpful to librarians on the front lines, and I think that with homeschoolers, there are a lot of easy, low-cost things libraries can do to make a difference. Homeschoolers are usually just so pleased to know that the library is thinking about them and considering their needs; so many other institutions don't, although that's changing more as homeschooling has become more mainstream.

Also, thanks for the great primer on the background of homeschooling at the beginning of the book. Now I feel like I can understand where our homeschooling patrons are coming from!!!
