That I understand. It wasn't a problem for this particular one. (There's actually a pair of them facing each other.) They were always full of books, and I think the person who made it was a book lover, because I could see a whole bunch of shelves of more books inside their building.
Last winter, I was walking to the Wigwam Restaurant in the snow and I stopped to deposit a book. A teenager trudging through the snow asked what this thing was. I explained how he could borrow any book he wanted, although he should either bring it back once he was done with it or deposit a different book or both. He was excited at the prospect of free books. That made me feel better about people, since I've encountered people for whom graduating from high school meant, and I quote, "never having to read another book ever again."
