Books in Freedom: The Orangerie Park’s Unique Book Exchange

This is “Livres en Liberté” (Books in Freedom), an open-access book exchange that invites everyone to take or leave books, free of charge and free of obligation.

Looks like the book dealers rifled through my library-o-free-books on the curb once again, and were thwarted because I had inked out all the ISBN numbers and UPC codes. Yay!

If you're in the #Saanich / #VictoriaBC / #YYJ area - I'm putting this mint condition #hardcover #Batman #comic #book into my little free library this weekend. It's on Kamloops Ave. Look for the dinosaurs atop the LFL roof - it's also plastered in environmental & social justice/anti-fascist stickers.

@koehntopp I still have an Amazon account so I could use an inherited tablet as a media player. Meanwhile, my Kindle library was mainly used for classic books, copyright free, from Project Gutenberg.org which I've duped and now read with fbreader.

Also our local public libraries have free-to-borrow newer volumes like Martin Cruz Smith's Arkady Renko series.
