Re:What to Do If Your House Is Overflowing with Books by WalterBright on Wednesday June 21, 2023 @01:01AM (#36414569)
There are about 4 near my home. I check them regularly. They are filled with books that stay there for several months. I'll add one when there's room.

If I was running one, I'd have maybe 10x what will fit in it, and constantly rotate them. The ones that don't move within a couple months go to the thrift store.

P.S. the books I add are scifi. They never last more than a week :-)

That's how I run mine. About twice a week I rotate ~10 books. Either ones that have been there for longer or ones that I know will never be taken anyway. (I leave everything for at least a week, but the 'guide to 2004 Honda Civic maintenance' never stood a chance...)

Every once in a while I sort through my 'additional collection' that I keep inside my house and take the unattractive ones to the thrift store.
