Oh, that all the homeschool resources we love were free.....
I love my local library. Love, love, love. Our branch participates in a very good lending-exchange program with other area libraries and the staff has been wonderful about supporting us in our homeschool journey. However, unless your library has unlimited funds and a large base of homeschoolers lobbying for materials, it's likely that you will need to look elsewhere for at least some of your materials.
Enter the Co-op!
http://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org has a great selection of discounts on loads of resources for the homeschooling family. It is free, yes, free, to join! Once you are a member, you can band together with other members to order things at less than retail price. On many items, the discount increases as more people buy in!
They usually have offers for resources covering all major subjects as well as electives and some fun stuff. I have seen items that would work for secular HSers, religious HSers, elementary schoolers, high schoolers, and many, many that would work for HSers of any stripe. It's well worth subscribing to their updates since offers normally have a time limit - different offers come and go and many have multiple sign-up periods. If there is a product that you think would be great on their site, let them know and they may get in contact with the company to see what can be done.
No, I have no financial interest in the Co-op, though I am a member and have benefited from some of the savings they offer.
