These free book shelves are no substitute for a real library, are they? In my experience, the offering is really limited. It's nice for a random find, but that's all. It's tough that books get burned, but if nobody wants to read them, there's no alternative.

Everyone had loads of books at home 50 years ago. Now far, far fewer homes have books.

They don't all have a home anymore.

Sad, but that's where we're at. It's not book burning in the traditional meaning, wven if that's what is happening.
