Lighthorse Harry Lee was building his library
with serious books at age 13.

“Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and Your dominion
endures throughout
all generations.
The Lord is faithful
in all His words

in all His works.”
Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are His. And why one? Because He was seeking godly offspring. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

I've been building my private library since about that age as well; part of my "hope chest"/ the inheritance I would like to leave to my children and/or at least use to disciple them.

Victoria Botkin's Curriculum Advice CDs are excellent! I bought several sets at the end-of-year sale and give them to young mothers. Mrs. Botkin makes learning simple, doable full of love and encouragement.
