Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Replace it.

No need for a scene, no need to be perceived as an ass. Just replace it.

It's literally just how little free libraries work. You don't even need to leave one (but should if you can, especially if you're removing a book rather than taking it to read imo). The intent is literally just to share books around.

I understand how the bougie book hut on a front lawn works. That was why I suggested replacement.

I wasn't going to cause a scene regardless but yeah good call

I'm sorry if it came across accusatory or anything. It wasn't meant that way.

Just get a copy of Ms Rachel and Bean and the Bedtime Routine and sub that in. If anything, the Ms Rachel book has some actual social redeeming value and is thus a step up.

Sorry again.
