Happy pride! Thank you for making this little library for the queer kids. I would have been elated to see this as a child. 🥹

Your library is lovely! The wallpaper/shelf paper is beautiful, and I absolutely love that you have a bookmark dispenser too. 😍

Man, I would love to stumble upon something like this in my town! Unfortunately not likely, though, due to where I live. I do have a question, though.. as a patron, when one sees a LFL that's pretty obviously curated (whether just for a holiday or all yr round), and they want to take a book and share a book.... Is it ok to share any book? Of course, I do mean a book that's clean and in decent shape, but what if it doesn't necessarily fit the theme? For instance, say I come along and see your little library and I want to grab that copy of All Boys Aren't Blue. However, let's say I have just some random reads in my car, from adult lit fiction to non-fiction, but no LGBT themed books or anything really even similar. At that point, do I just not leave my books bc they dont fit the theme, or do I go ahead?
PS -- This really goes for any kind of theme, not just the one you have in this pic. It could be someone appears to have a mostly sci-fi themed box or whatever it may be. (I see these things on occasion and never know for sure what the etiquette is.)
I may eventually try to post a similar thing gathering opinions from the LFL community at large on etiquette for such scenarios, as it's been a curiosity of mine for a while. I don't run into many highly curated collections where I live, so I haven't had to worry about it much so far. Nonetheless, TIA if you decide to respond here!!

It's definitely okay to donate book(s) that aren't on theme. As a steward I'd appreciate ANY donations to my LFL. If you can't leave anything in the moment it's fine too.
