Wednesdays of Tomorrow

[evelyn_b]

Or, it's not Wednesday yet, but I'm going to be AFK all day when it is.

Last week, I found a very nice new Little Free Library that was suffering from lack of books - it was only half full and most of the contents were self-published inspirational memoirs, self-published self-help, and Consumer Reports - so I resolved to come back with a few good books once I'd finished them. The other day, I came back with Burger's Daughter by Nadine Gordimer, Les Mis, and Bring Out the Dog, a solid collection of contemporary war stories by Will Mackin - only to find the old selections gone and the library stuffed to the gills with appealing popular fiction (and two boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese Dinner). There was only room for the smallest of my books, and then only after I took two books out of the box. So now I'm up a book, but I'm glad to see that the LFL is well looked after.

Normal Wednesdays to return next week, probaly.

Going to the LFL to get some books off your hands only to end up with MORE BOOKS is such a mood! I'm glad someone is looking after the LFL, though, and I'm sure they'll be happy to see that you've appreciated their efforts.

It is the story of my life. But I'm also glad to see it's being used, or at least getting books put in!

I'm glad other people had the same thought as you and brought good books to the LFL.

Me too! It's in such a nice location (benches by a millpond with about four rabbits hopping around, when I was there); I hope it gets a lot of use.

If the LFL is getting a lot of use, maybe you can drop off more at another time.

It's an out-of-town LFL, but I'll check back when I can!
