I get it! They were such treasured books or magazines when you first got them, but now they're taking up space and you want to find a new home for them. The thing is, there is likely less space in Little Library by the Sea than there was on your own bookshelf.

I appreciate the donations from the community - without patrons, my library is just an inconveniently placed bookshelf holding only my own stuff - but these copious copies of old Downhome Magazines were absolutely stuffed into the bright blue box. Some spilled out when I opened the door and no one could add more books or even see what was already in there for claiming.

Classic books are great to add and lots of fiction is desirable years after publication, but if you're looking to rehome periodicals more than a few months or reference books more than a few years, please consider whether the info inside is even relevant anymore and consider recycling it instead.

It may be dark outside at 4pm, but the library has light inside! Curated and available all year long, I'll even shovel it out if it's buried in snow.
