Lost and found
One reason to look forward to the rise of e-books is that we’ll no longer have to worry about leaving books behind on the streetcar or in hotel rooms. On the other hand, we’ll no longer have the pleasure of randomly happening upon a lost book, either.
The Guardian looks at the phenomena of lost and found books in this post about the most popular books left behind in Travelodges.
Meanwhile, the Leader-Post looks at the Regina Public Library’s 100th anniversary celebrations, which saw staff leaving 100 new books in various public spaces about the city, in the hopes that people will discover them and pass them on.
We’ll never have to worry about leaving a book behind in a hotel ever again for sure. We’ll have to worry about leaving our whole library behind instead. :)
