Here comes a rant. We have a weird problem at our street library - it keeps getting over-filled! We have just removed a load of books (30-40, as seen on top of the bin in this pic) as it was jam packed full, which causes so many issues - the door (to the adults section) and lid (to the kids section) don’t close properly and therefore the contents are no longer protected from the weather, the lid to the kids section has actually been split when it’s been forced closed (because it’s too full to shut properly) and the kids section was packed full of adult books. We have instructions written on the lid of the kids section and in signs within both sections of the library yet they are continually ignored… just wondering if anyone has a solution or ideas to help us as we can’t keep removing all these books - we have more not in the library than in it at the moment! Please help us look after our library and our books - the pics on the right in this collage is how it should look.
