Buuuut it did disappear from our place at some point and I don’t know who may have thrown it out. But like, I get it in this case.

Yeah people put crazy shit in them. My buddy back in the day found smut about pirates in one, and we were young teenagers. I found a Dennis brown album right outside of an elementary school a few blocks down from me lol. That’s more on people just trying to spread racist or weird shit not really any reflection on the free libraries themselves
