We have a little free library out front and someone ding dong dashed this + a bag of books at our house this afternoon. Have to imagine it’s a teen who’s parent saw how many books were on the shelf and doesn’t realize I have a whole bookcase in the garage full of stuff to rotate in that I never have space for haha

    I thought it was kinda like the bookshelf in a hostel. You try to drop-off a book you’ve finished, and take a book you haven’t read.

      Same. I don’t think I’ve ever returned a book, though I’ve taken a few. I’ve added some, too, but I don’t think it’s ever occurred me to return one to the same place I took it from.

      Yeah that’s how I’ve understood it. I think “library” may confuse a few people. “Little Book Exchange” doesn’t have as good a ring as “Little Library” haha
