Welcome to the impromptu video where I reorganize my homeschool bookshelves and discus my strategies for how I set them up! We love literature-based (Sonlight) homeschool curriculum and need space for all the books :)

we have so many bookshelves. I do the same kind of thing. All our Sonlight is on one row while resource books and bible books are on another then I organize all the early readers and progress up from there. I will say, getting the stickers for the sonlight books definitely make all the difference. You can quickly spot them if they get places somewhere else and then you dont have to figure out what level they go in cause its already on the spine! Great video!!! Thanks for taking us along.

We were given a giant bookshelf this past summer by some dear friends who moved to a different country...and re-organizing and filling its shelves was so fun! My strategy for now is keeping each literature-based curriculum all together with all the books that go with it. I keep the more "school" like picture books in the schoolroom and the more "fun" picture books in their bedroom for all the bedtime stories. Sometimes there's overlap, of course! My mom never sold any of her old HBLs...and I have already read Sonlight books to my boys that my mom once read to my little sisters. :)

We don’t have a set literature curriculum as I choose our literature from our personal library. I have all of our “school books” on one or more shelves sorted by topic. All readers, read alouds, “textbooks” etc are together. If we do have a certain curricula, such as Sassafras Twins, I keep those books together. My child has his own bookshelf with books he can read without asking me. This includes graphic novels, small chapter books, big chapter books, some picture books. Basically, if I don’t consider it “school”, it’s on his shelf.

I was blessed to inherit a home library of custom build bookcases. My husband installed the largest section in my kitchen (which is the center of our open floor plan home) and two smaller (but still large) sections in our master bedroom. I also have three small shelves in our formal dining room that we use as an office. I’m appreciate this video as I’m thinking through how to organize our shelves. We also use Sonlight with a bit of Well-trained Mind mixed in.

That sounds amazing! I love that the largest section is in the kitchen area :)

We have seven Ikea Billy bookshelves with extensions which are set up in our dining room, the only room with enough walls to hold the shelves. Four of the shelves hold all of my and my husband's books, which range from nonfiction to cookbooks to college texts to young adult and adult fiction. The remaining three bookshelves hold all of my school resources. The shelves are organized mainly by subject: science, history and geography, music, art, SEL, and tales. My daughter's readers, picture books, and all read aloud options are shelved at her level. I use a couple of the topmost shelves to hold books for upcoming units or next year's curriculum. I don't store teacher manuals or curriculum on the shelves, rather in a closet in the school room or in my teacher cart.

We do Sonlight as well. I have Kallax shelves. All of the core books are together for each level. So, all 4th grade books are together and I have a lot now for level 5 for next year, so they will be together as well (like you did). The rest of our books are sorted by subject, and my son has a couple miscellaneous shelves of independent reading. I have all of the areas labeled with removable wet-erase cling labels. I have a separate bookshelf for my own books and curriculum books we may use in the future but have I have no plan for them currently. I only have one child, so I consign all non-keeper books I know we won’t read again.

I love watching your videos. I’m a fellow(very very new) booktuber and homeschool mom. We are in our first year homeschooling, so we’re still getting in the swing of things. But I would love to do sonlight one day!

Oh also I have built in bookshelves in my room and I keep all our children and homeschool books on the lower shelves for them to access anytime!

We have a lot of the same books. I store away all the books we aren’t planning on using within a certain time frame, and I rotate out based on what unit study we are doing. Right now it’s dinosaurs, so I instantly spotted The Ultimate Dino-pedia 😂

Hi Angie, thanks for sharing, love your library. Wondering if you can help me, I can’t find a video of yours I watched last night which just rolled after this video, it was about the Sonlight Science kit and you were topping up the kit. Would you be able to link it for me please? Thank you.
