Book Quote by J. Patrick Lewis
““The Book Booth There's not a big selection, It's not locked for protection, But at the intersection Of Booth and Telephone, Two customers politely Can snuggle in it (tightly) And go once over (lightly) The books they'd like to own. "Readcycle" means you leave one - A book you love. Retrieve one... Who knows? You might receive one You haven't read before. Hats off to the committee For such an itty-bitty Library in the city, Which proves that less is more.””
