Building a Home Library on a Budget

Every child deserves a bookshelf full of stories. You don’t need a big budget—just a few savvy moves and some roozi-approved picks.

1. Scout Sales and Secondhand Finds

  • Watch for library sales and thrift stores—gently used gems are everywhere.
  • Online marketplaces often have bundle deals on children’s books.

2. Swap with Friends and Playgroups

  • Organize a book swap—kids love trading favorites.
  • Swap international titles to expand language options without spending.

3. Invest in Timeless Classics

  • Choose durable board books and sturdy picture books that stand up to repeats.
  • Classics get passed down—think bilingual folk tales, universal themes, and illustrated adventures.
