Going to a bookstore or library is a treat for me.<br /><br />I think community reading rooms are a great idea. However I believe Pagan books disappear from public libraries not because of people who want to study The Craft,but because of others who think it "evil". More than one library or bookstore has had to take measures to deal with people who steal Pagan books thinking that's the way to keep "bad influences" away from other people. <br /><br />I think used book stores are actually a good idea since they're a good venue for rare gems people wouldn't see in "traditional" stores that tend to stock only new titles and books that sell consistently across time. The one thing I discovered, to my horror, is that much of the stock even they can't sell is sent to the recycling company to be turned into pulp. <br /><br />Besides reading rooms there are options such as Book Crossing. I haven't done it yet but I imagine it would be interesting to send various books on "travels" and see where they go, and who reads them. http://www.bookcrossing.com/Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328034026300036704noreply@blogger.com
