Free books attract readers

Metal gray bookshelf on wheels, with books on the shelves, their spines facing outward. Yellow sign attached to the handle on the top-side of the book cart reads, 'Free Books (Libros gratis)'

Nothing like a free-book cart to really draw a crowd, shown here outside the library at Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts. One of our teachers recently cleared out old chapter-books from her shelves and brought the books to me in the library to help with re-homing them. I put them out on a movable cart, and have been rolling it outside during recesses. It was gratifying to see both children and adults stopping to browse the selection and even to take books away with them.
