We have a little free library out front and someone ding dong dashed this + a bag of books at our house this afternoon. Have to imagine it’s a teen who’s parent saw how many books were on the shelf and doesn’t realize I have a whole bookcase in the garage full of stuff to rotate in that I never have space for haha

Aww I get it Max! Even if it was a parent (good parenting though, be responsible with what you take and don't take more than you need) I know I'd personally feel guilty about holding onto too many too long.

Maybe you can put a sign on the library that says something like, these books are here for a short visit or their next forever home. Enjoy!

Or it doesn't have to be cute but I like cute cuz little libraries are.
