If the library has wi-fi, take your laptop and have your website up and running on it. Make a button. I love buttons.

Thanks for fixing my html, Dana. You’re the best. And in case no one has said it yet, “Happy Home Education Week.”

So glad to here this is happening in other states too. I too had wondered what we could do to celebrate the week. Thanks for pointing me to The Common Room for all those great suggestions.

Speaking of the library, you could create a “Nebraska Home Education Week” bulletin board or display, featuring art and writing samples by homeschooled students, pictures of famous home educated people, resources for home schoolers at the library, info about local homeschool groups, photos of activities, a copy of the proclamation, a timeline of the history of home education…

Also good…we have a couple of smaller book shops. I wonder if a flyer would encourage them to assemble books in a display, especially if they had an offer from someone to be available to answer questions? I don’t know that I can put together a presentation, but maybe…There are a lot of homeschoolers here but at the moment I don’t actually belong to any of the groups, although I’ll be meeting up with some other homeschoolers on Tuesday. Maybe they’ll be interested in something.

Oooh…I love that idea!

The downtown branch has a few and Gere does. The others I’m not so sure. I just know that every time I go looking for a book, those are where they are located. But that IS something I can do.

And this post is only half snark. I actually am going to put something together and I actually am hoping that as many of you will participate as possible. Similar to Randi’s “Back to Homeschool Week” from last year, but with different topics. It would be great if they would let me add flyers to the display so anyone with questions has a summary of information and some contact information.
