September 9, 2019May 16, 2017 by ruthmini
Their trash will be my treasure

One of the best books I received was a 1937 edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and a 1950 edition of Leaves of Grass. Can you believe that someone was going to throw these books away in the trash? It’s heartbreaking, to say the least.

Several people have asked me why I’m doing this, and my answer is simple: I love books, I love free stuff, and I love giving away free books. I want to make sure that no one ever has an excuse not to be reading.

As many of you know, I’m studying to be a librarian and I run my own mobile library. Being able to go to this convention was a dream come true. All I did was spend a couple of hours volunteering.
