A more prominent place

The other day the Staff at the Laundromat 55 decided to move things around a bit.  Now the video game has been moved into the back nook where the books used to be and the book cart has been moved closer to the front of the space, with more chairs surrounding it.  It's nice to see that they have really adopted the cart and now consider it a permanent fixture to their business.

Censorship???

I found this little note taped to the cart today:  It says "children book from 6-8" Someone really likes to play Librarian. Today I replenished the book cart with another 50 books, making the total thus far to 194.  Before today's addition  there were 91 books remaining, .  But on top of the 91 of my books, another 30 books had been added to the cart.  I brought the new pile home to register them into the project with a bookplate and number.  This evening I will go back and put back 28 of them.  The 8 that I am not going to put back are: 1 book that makes sounds with dead batteries. 2 books about winter (which I plan to put back on the cart in the Fall) 1 book on Thanksgiving (again put back in October) and the 4 books I am still debating about. These 4 books are Christian books.  Not books about Adam and Eve, or Noah's ark , not even about Jesus.  No, they are books with titles like: "Because I Love You", and "With You All the Way". The
