Although I’m risk averse in most things, I’m a gambler when it comes to choosing my pleasure reading. One of my ongoing sources of literary surprises is the Free Little Library boxes that have sprouted all over my community, stocked alluringly with books my neighbors are ready to pass along. The joys of discovering an author or subject I might never have otherwise sampled are multiplied when such chance encounters lead me right back to the Library’s picture collections.
