Well, call me a mean mom, but I try not to buy CJ or K-Bug too many books any more.
CJ has such a huge collection that he has not read, but is working his way through.
K-Bug is too voracious of a reader (for me to afford to keep up with book purchases). I keep reminding them both about this fantastic place called the LIBRARY. They actually let you read for FREE. Shocking. Utterly shocking, I tell you.
I can understand with older kids like yours Suzi. They can and should use the library.

Choose library! But why not with toddlers, too?
Ok, I'm a little annoyed at this part of a craigslist ad for an apartment: Dogs only allowed if somebody is home all day to take them out. Please don't ask if you are a working dog parent, doggies just can't be expected to hold it that long.
Um, excuse me? But yeah - they can. And my dog? Has been left at home for 6+ hours everyday with no accidents for about 5 years now.
Not sure why it irritates me so much, but it does.
Well, with K-Bug, I can toss the car keys at her and tell her to haul her own tush to the library. More difficult to do that with a toddler.
I think she was talking about instilling reading habits? Shit... we lost the library card. Should replace.

More this. I went with my parents just about every week to the library. They're both readers so they needed books to keep themselves happy, and I think it was grand that they could tell us we could take home as many library books as we wanted.
But why not with toddlers, too?
I took the boys to the library, too -- and I do it especially right now with Sara. She's got a million "new" books of her brothers' still to grow into, so we go to the library every week and pick out books there.
It's also a fabulous way to test drive books. There are some I thought she'd love that she hated, and then there are others that I couldn't bear to read more than once.

The library is a great resource for books. I was more upset about this woman's attitude of reading as being a school thing and not something she should be doing with her kid at home. I have so many good memories of reading at home as a child.
