Doug Checked Out Cold Tracks
He also chose another called Taking Charge of Anger. Said he wasn't an angry person, but it didn't hurt to read up on it.
Mark Chose Vonnegut & Best American Science Writing
But he grabbed Orwell for the photo. He also shared some of his own science fiction writing, which was good stuff.
Bryan Donated, Eric Checked it Out
Bryan lives nearby in Old Town, and brought us a box of books to donate. Right away Eric found a western he liked, and so it was a fortuitous crossing of paths. Thanks to Bryan for the donation, and Eric for the continued patronage.
Christmas in February
Linda was very pleased to find a holiday book at the Street Books library.
History Buffs and Possum Living
Hammond and I had a lovely chat to end my shift. We talked about World War II, family dynamics and simple living. He took a book called Possum Living that lays out simple solutions for urban street living.
Wilson, We Meet Again...
Wilson and I met at the rally on MLK Jr. Day, organized by Sisters of the Road. He was looking for Native American books. I remembered him and called him over to the cart. I didn't have the poetry set aside for him that I'd remembered, but he found two books that interested him. "It's so cool that you remembered me," he said.
Wyman and The Kite Runner
"I heard this is a really good book," he said to me pulling Khaled Hosseini's, The Kite Runner from the cart. "I'm going to try it."
A Book for Aaron
He stopped by as I was checking in returns and donations to the library from R2DToo residents. He spent quite a while perusing the cart, reading the back of most every book before selecting one for the road.
First Loan of the Day
Came while the Street Books library was set up at the Right 2 Dream Too rest area. Happy reading!
Busking for a Book
Mike was busking in the Park Blocks when I passed through with the library. He played me a tune and we soaked up some afternoon sun. In the end, he settled on a Piers Anthony book for the road. He slid it into his guitar backpack case and said, "If it doesn't fit in here, it doesn't go with me." Happily, he found a small spot to stash it.
