Much to my chagrin, I had need today to duck into a rather large shopping centre in central Melbourne in search of an emergency umbrella. Normally I would avoid such places like a heavy cold...a malady that shopping centres seem to have in abundance...but today it was something I just had to do if I was not to find myself fighting pneumonia instead of a runny nose.
Much to my more than pleasant surprise however, I stumbled into something of which I wholeheartedly approve and applaud. A "Little Library" for city workers and shoppers who find themselves short of something to read. Yes! A free, mini library that invites all and sundry to "borrow" a book and return it on completion or replace it with a book of their own for which they no longer have use. The "Little Library works on an honesty system, and might I say, seems to be working very well indeed.
