Hi Lee and Megan-
4 households in a row put up the LFL. I am the steward of it. Surprisingly, it has been slow during COVID. We keep it filled though. And I wipe it down with disinfectant every day. I see people looking at it regularly and people donate as well. People leave boxes of books on my front porch. I cull from my own collection. What we are low in are children\u2019s picture books.<\/p>During precovid we had BART commuters checking it out so that was good.
Our library has been swept a couple of times (that\u2019s when someone comes and takes all of them). Nothing we can really do about that. But if they were going for a group in need that would be ok. But these sweepers I think take them and try to sell them.<\/p>Joining the group on Facebook or getting the LFL email gives some good info.<\/p>
The object to me is get people reading.<\/p>
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hope you do it!
