RE: Sublime Sunday Goes To The Library
We have a bunch of free libraries around town...some have been there for 10 years and are being used often. That first one you posted looks like a good way to ruin books!
That is an ugly one! It's open to the rain, so you're right, the books can get ruined. Also, although you can't see it in the "cartoon" version of the photo, the sides of the thing are covered in bits of broken mirror glass. It's kind of hideous actually!
Oh great! Let's slice up the kids hand when they reach for a book! This is one in a Swedish neighborhood in Chicago called Andersonville. My grandkids found a couple of good ones there!
Yeah, that's nice. That's what most of the ones here look like. I think these are a great idea. Just looking at my bookshelf, I see a couple I could drop off today. It's nice that you can keep a book if you like, and just bring back other things. Everyone is free to participate in whatever fashion.
The kids took a couple that they were excited about finding and immediately went home and found a couple to exchange and walked back to put them in the box. They loved participating.
