I work for a college and we have a scheme whereby unwanted books are placed in the staff area. These are available for anyone to take and bring back when they're finished. The scheme has really taken off. It's a great way to get rid of books you've already read and there's a continual supply of new reads available!

I started doing this where I work, in a launderette, it's great. Saves me a fortune not having to buy books.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no: 203.0

I read somewhere that they do this round Manchester, just leave books here and there for whoever wants to read it, once read they the person puts it back etc.0

Great idea :j As this isn't really Old Style, I'll move it to the Green and Ethical Board.
