Yeah, the little free library, those are whoever came up with that idea. That was very smart. And it's interesting too, because I used to, whenever I was done with books, they first of all used to hoard them, but then finally when I was trying to get rid of them, I would take them to my local library because I knew that they would occasionally have, once or twice a year, a book sale to raise money.

I know here, the Bangor Public Library up here in Bangor, Maine, that's of course Stephen King's backyard.
