It seems like most little libraries expect you to borrow a book and return it (or a replacement) when you're done. I personally suck at remembering things like returning that one book I borrowed from that one person that one time. Confession time - I've never actually used a little library myself mostly because of that little catch right there...
Manny's Blessing Box is different. We expect you to feel comfortable enough to rest and relax and read on site when the weather cooperates and you have time to kill. However, we also welcome/encourage you to stop by when you've just got a minute to spare and want to grab something en route. If you get around to returning it, that's great - there's a green tub under the bench just for drop off items. If you decide to keep it or pass it on to someone else - or if your kid/dog/pet gopher decides to shred it one dark and dreary night - don't sweat it! The point of Manny's Blessing Box is to bless others, not to keep tabs on you or your bizarre choice in pets. We typically check the box every day and replace any items that have happily wandered off (hopefully to good homes without hungry gophers). Book inventory is rotated weekly, so there's always a variety of things to choose from.
