Shoutout to the lady who gave away 3 bags of clothes last week but also took 2 bags home

I was at the Little Free Library swap spot on Cedar Street and saw one person drop off three full bags of kids clothes but then grab two bags of adult stuff for herself. Is the point of this group to cycle things out freely or are we supposed to keep it more balanced so everyone gets a fair shot?

Right there with you @luna_kim40, it's one of those things where you don't stop and think about it until you see it happen. A couple of months back I watched a guy load up a whole trunk full of books while a kid waited beside him with just one. Takes the wind out of the whole idea of sharing when it feels lopsided like that. Makes you wonder if we need a gentler guideline for these spots, like maybe grab one bag for every two you bring.

Used to think grab whatever you want but this actually makes me rethink the whole fairness thing.
