So it's a totally new library...

..with totally new stuff including a brand spanking new freshly painted white book drop out on the sidewalk.. which is quite easy to distinguish from the multiple green waste receptacles located roughly 30 yards away. To aid passersby in the demystification of this distinction, the words BOOK RETURN have been printed in large black lettering over the slot. Which is why we were completely unsurprised to find that our very first emptying of the new book drop yielded a box of loose twigs and the remnants of two cocktails from the neighborhood drinking establishment. New library... same old public.
