In wealthy neighborhoods, the families are already going to the regular library weekly at least or are buying plenty of books. In the neighborhoods where kids might not have access to books frequently- they either aren’t used or nothing gets replaced. Even in the neighborhoods were they are used, the replacements are not good books. They are the cast offs grandma got the kids from Goodwill, free at Dr office, random religious book and so on.
Agreed. It's a cute concept but the quality of books in them tends to be super low, and agreed that the neighborhoods in which they tend to exist generally have plenty of access to books. Donate the books to your school or local library IMO.
A similar cute neighborly concept if you live in an area with lots of dogs is a "dog toy library" that you can stock with tennis balls or people can leave their dog's hard toys and swap out to keep things interesting for their pups.
