Donate a Summer Beach Novel to the BSC Library

Ex Libris means "From Your Books" Beachcomber has a very small library located in the same shed as the Lost and Found. Using the present political parlance, I’d say, "We want to grow our library." Chances are good that you purchased a beach novel last summer. If you’re willing to part with it, please shake off the sand and drop it off in the BSC library so that someone else may read it this summer while they’re at the pool.

Suggested books to bring include popular fiction by authors like Steven King, Sue Grafton, Michael Crichton, Faye Kellerman, etc. Feel free to bring any book that has been on Oprah's reading list. Bring any of the Harry Potter books; there must be a child somewhere on Earth that hasn’t read one yet.

Please do not bring your old college textbooks. A Dialectic Approach to the Deconstruction of Neo-Postmodern Haiku may have been a fascinating topic when you were a student, but it's not at the top of anyone else’s reading list.

Here are some other books to leave at home:

  • The Corporate Travel Guide to Outer Mongolia
  • Learn to Speak Esperanto like a Native !
  • Programming in BASIC using IBM punchcards
  • Encyclopedia Britannica volume 16; Ga through Gr
  • Reader’s Digest Condensed Version of Jonathan Livingston Seagull
  • The Mini-Marshmallow Cookbook
  • Feng Shui your Internal Organs !
  • A Survival Guide to the Impending Y2K Crisis
