Leave one, Take one November 18, 2012
One what? A book! Leave one where? In a little street box library, in Brooklyn, New York.

Rather, they’re places where readers, without even knowing one another, share treasures with one another. I took a book from there, and left one. By morning it was gone. But I am interested in knowing about the interested age groups. Do any twenty year olds appreciate these street libraries? Read more about such initiatives:
