Carol had a great idea for getting new books while the Hastings Public Library is closed during coronavirus lockdown. Or even after the library re-opens.
We know we can always buy a book, and hopefully not from an unnamed source because it has taken control of our buying. A political aside: the source's owner is insanely rich and doesn't pay his warehouse employees well nor give them benefits.
Even when we can find the rare independent book store, many of us don't want to buy yet one more book. The love we have for books has resulted in overstuffed bookshelves. Not a serious condition, but we must have limits to our indulgences.
We are forming our own lending library. Like good book sellers, we will recommend books to each other, ones that we have in our homes. If you want a book, get in touch with the member who's recommending it; you two will figure out time and place to get it.
The library is in the form of a Google Document. Please add your recommendations.
