Yet another Ga***rd of Books went to Ladysmith this morning to refill our $1 Homeschool and Teacher curriculum event!

We will refill this event daily through Sunday! So check out all the cool new stuff every day.

Until two years ago, Larry didn’t even know what a Ga***rd was. Now he knows it’s a box big enough to put a Volvo in.

Banana for scale…
