love that pic …. here we often have small book shelves by the side of the road, in a hairdressers … in many public spaces so people can use it as an exchange, bring a book and take a book!

Hi bestadman! Thanks for reading. This post was from my heart. It makes me sad to think that some people don’t have libraries. What would we miss if there were no books in our lives? Yes, a library elephant would be fun, but I’m glad I don’t need one.
