Woke up this morning and decided to checkout the “Corner Library” in my neighborhood, that I heard about from my friend. Almost drove past it because I didn’t think it would be on an actual corner, but it’s positioned in front of a house that’s literally on the corner. The “library” itself is a mailbox looking house with two little handles and small latch, so keep your eye out for it if you want to check it out yourself.
Anyways, I brought a couple books to exchange since I thought it would be rude to just take books without reimbursing the shelves. I picked out some pretty good books, if I may say so myself: a thriller from Stuart MacBride (I’ve read one of previous books), a Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul book, and a writing supplementary book. Can’t wait to start reading them!
Cheers to Literacy!
