Our verdict on Build Your Library
Build Your Library is a secular, literature-based homeschool curriculum for families teaching children from kindergarten through grade 12. Its downloadable PDF programs combine scheduled lessons with literature, history or geography, science, art, poetry, activities, and research. The approach also includes narration, copywork, dictation, memory work, discussion questions, and mapwork, making it a fit for homeschoolers who want a structured humanities-led program rather than isolated subject resources.
Pricing is straightforward and uses one-time purchases. Level 0 costs $29.95 and includes a 30-week kindergarten schedule covering geography, literature, science, poetry, and art. Levels 1-4 cost $39.95, with full-year plans, daily and weekly schedules, reading lists, science, and art. Levels 5-8 cost $49.95 and add research projects alongside literature-based lessons and activities. Levels 9-12 cost $59.95 and include high-school plans, writing assignments, research projects, and science quizzes in Level 9. This structure keeps the entry price low while extending the same format through high school.
The main trade-off is scope: Build Your Library concentrates on a literature-rich, multi-subject framework, but math is not included and must be sourced separately. Required books are also listed separately for families to purchase or borrow, so planning extends beyond downloading the PDFs. Families who want scheduled reading, discussion, writing, and project work across several subjects should find the format well aligned with their needs. Those seeking an all-in-one curriculum that includes math and its required books should consider a different option.
