15. For all the effort she put into this, it seems to me she could have created her own Little Library.

She could have ensured there was a library that reflected her community’s values without having to hijack someone else’s. And it looks like she put inserts into ALL the books in his library, even those she hadn’t personally added.

I don’t know, this just felt unnecessary and performative to me. And counter to the whole point of Little Libraries. That’s all I’m saying. At the same time though, I DO understand the impulse - I get the “why”.
