Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about lending books...A few weeks back we had a question about borrowing books, this week I was wondering what your policy was on lending books. Do you lend books to anyone? Just friends? Only big readers? How long are they allowed to have them?
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your opinion in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks.
Okay, I'll come clean, I have an ulterior motive for asking this question. I lent my copy of Twilight to a friend... but cannot for the life of me remember who it was I lent it to. So if it's you can you PLEASE let me know? I don't need it back, I just need to know who has it so I can stop going crazy.
And on to the real answer.
I tend to be a little bit of a book pusher - I'm aware that I do it and I try to curb the impulse, but sometimes I just can't help myself. Occasionally someone will head home with a little pile of books and a face that clearly says 'I'm not quite sure what happened there, and hey look! how did I get these books?'
As for people who actually WANT to borrow the books, I'm pretty easy going. I don't really like lending out books to people I don't know (friend of a friend borrowing) but people I know can borrow whatever they want and (as my mini-rant above may show) as long as I know who has what they can have it as long as they want. I usually just write up the list on my whiteboard so I don't go looking for them - I spent many a week looking for a book that wasn't in the house before I started this system.
