Books to Share

in #bookstoshare6 years ago (edited)

To be honest the place doesn't look too inviting for relaxed reading on that metal bench, but the idea to offer at public locations books for free is great. Usually such bookshelves are well cared for. Everyone can take a book or put a book into the shelf. Always you can find something new and interesting.
Do not take it for granted. There are countries on earth where the possession of books is a rare exception or even can be dangerous for your self.

This picture is from the German town Kehl opposite the French city of Strasbourg. Do you have such public book exchanges in your town?

Thanks for your visit and upvote. Enjoy your day!

Would love to have free books and libraries in Thailand!

Cheers.

He kaminchan, steemit is for inspiration. Get some friends together start a voluntary group, collect unwanted books and the adventure begins! Or spread the word !

There are already a few groups of people doing this! They collect books donated by people and give them to poor schools and prisons as well . But the problem is that most people don’t read books any more. So the quality of donated books are very poor!

Hope books will survive in the digital age!

I hope so too! More people are using ebook!

But I still prefer to hold paper books!

Great initiative!
