Book's Big Adventure

A new library book goes on adventures as it is checked out by many readers. But after awhile, the adventures stop and the book is a bit shabby. Are the adventures over? Not yet. At a book giveaway, the book ends up going to a new home with a little girl who loves it and brings it on many new adventures. A book to answer the question what happens to old library books and a nice example of repurposing and recycling.

I enjoy stories that remind readers about things. Reminding readers that there are many types of books (even ones with ugly, nondescript covers) that are meant to be enjoyed is a good tale to tell. Working in a library, I always try to highlight topics/books that might not be the first thought or expectation.

Inevitably a book's life needs to change. Get off the books shelf but find somewhere new to explore. This book talks that too.

The life cycle of a library book is an amazing thing. Live this life with a little red book as they go from hands to hand, to home, to home. This story was simple and amazing.

Everywhere I go I see far more books available than wanted. The author's advice to use Little Free Libraries, Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc., is fine... if the ones in your community have space on their shelves. And don't forget to check your city public library for a Friends of the Library organization as it will probably host book sales. Paperbackswap.com is also wonderful if the books you're done with are on someone's wishlist. Good luck!
