The concept of free literature-sharing boxes posted in neighborhoods and public spaces hooked me. For a booklover, this represented bliss （快乐）,At home, my bedside table sprouts （长出）books and from the floor rises a mountainous to-be-read pile. My husband wasn't the least bit surprised when I suggested starting our own Little Free Library. As a writer and introvert（内向的人）, I welcomed the idea of saying hello to other booklovers on occasion. The following winter, my husband built a copy of our Irish garden shed （棚屋）with a framed glass door on the front and, in the spring, mounted （安装）it on a post in front of our house. We filled the shelves with books, and since then, visitors have refilled them with literary fiction, romances, mysteries, science fiction, cowboy westerns, young-adult fiction, poetry, how-to's, self-help and a range of other nonfiction. For a time after COVID-19 first struck, public libraries shut down, and Amazon prioritized the delivery of essential and high-demand items. Books were less easily attained. Traffic to our library increased. I posted reminders about hand washing, and still, readers kept coming.   We wondered if we should close the Little Free Library and revisited （再次讨论）our original motivations for hosting it: to facilitate the exchange of books, to create a sense of community. Reading provides the necessary relief to the emotional crush （压力）of life. With this in mind, we added a written reminder on staying safe in the library. Through my teens, reading transported me to other places and eras. Books taught me about life and how people overcame adversity （逆境）, I no longer felt alone in the things I struggled against. Aside from the entertainment books offer, studies show that reading exposes us to other cultures and perspectives. Literature sheds light on the justice to be found in social inclusion and community cohesion （凝聚）.Self-esteem and understanding grow in equal measure as we come to understand ourselves and our place in the world.
