PB: If you were going to look for a book, what section would you go to?
TC: My favorite would be Science Fiction, the second would be Fiction.
PB: What would you say to people who are hesitant to become a member of the library?
TC: I’d just look at them in astonishment and say, why wouldn’t you? The cost of a membership is so low; you are donating to the town, to the Palapa and Puente students, to the people who live here. You’re helping their children succeed; why wouldn’t you?
PB: What do you think of our new policy of giving some of our elders a life-long membership?
TC: I think it’s totally awesome. I totally approve!!
PB: It’s for people over 75, who have been longtime library supporters. The most recent inductee said, “I’ll renew when I get some more money”. That was enough for me to invite them.
TC: Books should be free, knowledge should be free.
PB: My favorite retort to someone who reported abuse of the Little Free Libraries, “You can’t steal a free book.”
