I still have yet to do any kind of publicity for my newly launched Little Free Library, but while I was away at the beach for the weekend, there were some substantive changes.

Over the weekend we’ve loaned out

• The Russia House (our first checkout on 7/31/15!)
• The Crimson Petal and the White
• Envy
• Helen of Pasadena
• The Last Original Wife

And we’ve gotten three new donations overnight

• Sundays at Tiffany’s
• Truth & Beauty: A Friendship
• The Forgotten by David Baldacci

The updated list of our current stock can be found on our GoodReads shelf.

Guest Book

We’ve added a guest book for our visitors. You’ll find a red composition book (and pen) inside our library where you can leave your thoughts and comments. Kindly leave the guest book in the library – it’s the one book we have that doesn’t circulate!

In some part the guest book is meant to help catalog the progress of our library. Below are some suggestions for what you might write into our guest book when you visit:

• Patrons/Associate Librarians are encouraged to (optionally) write in the books they donate or check out.
• Say hello to your fellow neighbors! You can simply write down the day and time of your visit along with a note for future visitors.
• Bringing back a book? Feel free to write in a short review of the book you’re returning so others will know what they’re getting into. (If you give it a number of stars, be sure to indicate out of how many possible, so we know your scale.)
• Liked a book you borrowed? Flip back into the guest book to see who made the donation and write in a thank you to the donor.
• Have a book you’ve been longing for? Write it in and maybe a fellow neighbor has a copy they can donate on a future visit.
• Visiting our branch from far away? Be sure to write down your hometown and country  so we know how far away our books travel.
