There are four or five retirement centers in my local area that are just full of people who spend their time reading lots of books. I went to each one and asked them if I could start a “free book exchange” table at each one; they all agreed. On this table, I would put several old books I no longer wanted and said “take books to read - leave books for others to read.” About once a week, I stop by them and always find a few good ones to read, and I return ones I’ve taken before (usually to other homes). Not only do I find lots of good books, I’m helping to make the lives of people in retirement homes better.
