[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally do not get the LFL concept in a MC/UMC neighborhood. There is the library. It has tons of books. Most people have cars.

I guess in the city or a poorer/mixed neighborhood where people would have more trouble getting to the library this would be good but I mostly seem to see them in spots where people are highly likely to already be able to get to the library. [/quote]

I walk past our LFL everyday.  If I am finished with a book or could use a new one, I peak in.  Sure I eventually get to the library and sometimes there is nothing of interest but it is still a nice thing to have.  When I see one of my books disappears, I am happy that I was able to share.  Kids LOVE checking it out too when they are walking from the bus or to the park.

Yes! The thing that distinguishes the good LFLs from the sad LFLs is that the good ones seem to have some level of maintenance: There are no books that have been sitting unwanted for more than a year (unlike one about a half-mile from our house, full of 30YO paperbacks with bleached spines -- folks, it's recycling time)

Neighbors have multiple LFLs in their yard -- Teen & adult, picture books, Spanish. I have a hard time getting rid of books, but I know there's no point in hanging on to paperbacks, which be crumbling garbage in a few years, and it's nice to pass them along with very little effort. [/quote]
