Random Acts of Literacy

Rate: 0 Flag

Another short blog this week.  I follow Jane Yolen on Facebook. She introduced me to http://randomactsofliteracy.weebly.com/

 

This site suggests that people give books to strangers that they meet in public places.

 

Usually I resell mine or trade them for credit at my local used book store.

 This idea makes sense. People usually talk to me as we wait for buses, ride on buses, wait in line at the grocery store.  I usually have my backpack or bike saddle bag with me.  It's only a few ounces extra to carry.  If the person seems like they might like what I've just finished, giving it to them is a great idea that I can afford.

I cannot believe how so many lack even basic

knowledge when it is all available on a smart phone.
