Friday the 13th

In spirit of the marked day I thought I would search for a suggested reading list.  Spooky and superstition themed these classics would also work well with Halloween evenings in.

Good Reads Friday the 13th suggested read list.

The Giving Spot

Matadors Pizza was slow moving at first but has picked up and in the best way.  When I first glanced I thought nothing had moved and I was preparing to pick up the books and take them to my car when a book caught my eye.  Go ask Alice by Anonymous.  One of my favorite books and a great song (white rabbit).  

My copy was passed on to a cousin and then victim to a house fire.  Eager to review its pages again I snatched it up with a smile that not only were people donating, they were donating quality items.  I scanned the shelf more closely and found more additions and noticed a few missing.  Some even looked like they had additional wear - as if already taken and returned which is wonderful.  I plan to return Go ask Alice when I'm finished with it, which is a pristine copy.  

Looking Slow

Medical reasons have kept me inside for some time now but I am hoping to leave today if all goes well.  However my errands won't take me by any of our drop points so I won't be able to look in on them and update the community on what is available there.  I would like to start a new drop point today but I don't have enough books for donation right now.  Only one waits to be donated (see image on right).  It looks like November may be a slow month but I had expected a lull in my participation come winter months.  

There is a box of paperbacks waiting to be read that my mother has started on so I expect more books soon and will deliver them as soon as possible.  Hopefully I will soon have enough books to replenish drop points as well as create a new one.  

I am going to visit a friend on my errands and will ask her if she has any books laying around she would like to donate.  

Monthly Donation Count

Books were counted as donated in the month of

October, 2015.  Did you donate a book?  Make sure your donations make the count, go here to find out how.

Directly from this office 23 books were donated. This office directly relocated 15 books from one drop point which sat for several month's to another book point where they moved in a matter of days.  

Other Free Book Programs

There are many people in the spirit of giving setting up "free book" drops in various places.  Many end up abandoned while some remain maintained by staying close to home.

Any of you who have pre-existing "free book" drops you created in your community are more than welcome to join our community to use the available system of tracking and posting donations as well as creating community without all the set up as it's all here and waiting for you.

Just visit our Downloads to get a sign and coming soon label templates with QR codes to stick into each donated book at your point for easier tracking.  If you're outside our current operating states just contact us and as mentioned in our About section we will custom make some options for you ASAP.  

Thank you for your participation, stay posted and enjoy!
