Book Angel

There is a little break room in the building where Lory and I work. Along with an ice machine, a microwave and a few tables, there is a small bookshelf. People leave books there for others to take. A Little Free Library of sorts.

Lory told me that an anonymous donor had left a bunch of books. I went down to take a look and was surprised at the number of books. I didn’t count but there must have a hundred or more; books of all types.

I’m not claiming credit, but this is definitely Two Sides kind of stuff – making books available for readers that want them! Our secret book angel left a lot of interesting books. I took two – A 60s New Yorker collection and Gretchen Rubin’s The Four Tendencies. I don’t remember if Rubin has come up, but this is a book with some history for us; a story for another time.

I’m hoping readers in the building will take advantage. Maybe there will be more to this story in a podcast episode sometime.
