And may I add another idea to that ? Could the neighborhood rec centers find a bit of space to have a "free" library, where residents could take the books they have read, and get a new book ? A kind of bring one, take one ? NOT thinking of boxes of donated books like come to the Friends of the Library group and are sold at low cost to support the library. Just thinking of neighborhood rec centers where resident's could bring one book they finished and trade for another. Worth a trial effort I would think, if it was abused and individuals came in and just took an arm load of books, it could be discontinued, but I think most neighborhoods would abide and benefit !
