Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for December 17, 2023

Take a book, share a book you little $%#$%.

Book ‘em Dano.

Very disappointed in him. Thought he was a better person than that.

He’s why those little libraries don’t last. Greedy little brat.

You’ve got the right idea, kid. The books are there to get a new life, and you’ve given them one. And now, there’s room in the little library for more books. Around here, it seems there are always more people ready to donate than to pick up.

Okay, this is just wrong. I hope Betty lays into the little thieving brat.

I have two “Free Little Libraries”. One for adults, one for children, always busy traffic. But few people actually leave books, just take them.

They’re called “Little Free Libraries” for a reason. Most are choked with romance paperbacks and self-help books. There’s time to come back and put a decent book or two in. Leave him be.

My sister put up one of those in front of her house. People vandalize it all the time.

I do put books, brand new games and even some food into my lending library with the idea that some folks may use them for gift purposes. And, they do get taken… some immediately, some with a bit of time. I live near an elementary so that has some impact.

Junior, you are assuming your giftee’s even know how to read a book anymore.

Oh lighten up people. Several books in there. He only took 4. Plus he said he’d come back later to replace them with Hustlers and Penthouses.

Unclear on the concept.
