I find these to be cute, romantic almost. But I have never found anything worth borrowing. I wonder what is the real impact in terms of additional books read. I do love the concept of spreading knowledge in the neighborhood. I'd be curious about other similar approaches.

In my experience (I have 3 within walking distance of home), they tend to have good children's books, but the adult selection is almost useless, leaning towards religious propaganda and bad cookbooks.

I've found them to be little microcosms of the area where they are: around me, those in wealthy neighborhoods tend to have biopics and non-fiction. Maybe more business or finance focused. Those in my neighborhood (tons of young families) have more casual reading and certainly a lot of fiction.

So that's all to say sorry, your hood is full of boring people. Try finding one in a different area.
