    Maybe it’s a donation ?
    If it is be glad that’s all it is, I imagine some pretty nasty things show up in dropoff slots.

      Every morning is a new game of What’s in the Overnight Book Drop Today! My favorite is a full set of keys that no one ever came to claim.

        My sister is a librarian, and has tales to tell. Have your read the book “Dewey,” about a cat abandoned in a book drop?

          I’m sure the two of us could occupy a coffee shop table for a good few hours exchanging stories.

          I’ve heard of the title but I’ve not read it myself. It sounds sweet though.

    As a librarian myself I resonate with this one. 😉 In fact, I was dealing with some withdrawn stuff yesterday: one had a note saying “gross stains! Throw away!”

    Oh dear.

      The worst ones are the ones that have an odor…

    I love libraries. The feel, the smell of all those books, the potential. They’re wonderful and a benchmark of a stable and well run society.

    Well, even if they’re falling apart, it’s better if the books are used and torn than clean but idle, yeah?
