Uh Oh

  I've been traveling this last week and spent some time Saturday morning checking on what books have shown up and re-shuffling the scrabble letters.  I met a couple from well outside our neighborhood who like re-arranging the letters and have used the library.  Our newest neighbors Bonnie & her daughter dropped by and shared how they took the appearance of the library as a sign that their new neighborhood was a perfect fit for their family.  Fun stuff!

  If you're not familiar with the Post Secret blog, check it out.  Post Secret shares a similar vein of inventive, community based projects which have taken off in various ways.  In the midst of this technological, modern onslaught of ideas and information sometimes a simple concept resonates with a particular group of people.  The Little Free Library project resonates with folks who read, it connects with folks who walk by your neighborhood and pick up a book or two.  The Post Secret blog utilizes an old communication style (postcards) which are mailed to an artist's home and then he picks something of a theme and weekly blogs these postcards.

  Today Frank Warren posted this great postcard with a deep, dark, terrible secret:

Oh yes, we like people who have this deep, dark, secret squirreled away in the recesses of their private persona.  That nefarious and evil condition of purchasing beyond your reading potential. (Known in clinical circles as PBRP.)  This is a truly deviant condition and Dr. Whitty-Storey has a two step method to restore your peace of mind and sanity.  Step One, gather said books into a shopping bag. Step Two bring them to the Whitty-Storeys Library Box.  You can do it, you have the potential and you too can be a contributor to our simple neighborhood project.  Make that call, well actually just drop 'em at the box, but if you have a box full I'll help you store 'em until Whittey-Storey is ready for new deposits.

  While you're here check out some of the new books which have popped up!   Cheers, Stephen
