Bad sides of volunteering at the bookstore annex of local public library:
No profit sharing. (It's not a job, obviously.)
Distressing look at reading tastes of modern America. (Plenty of Self-Help, Christian Fiction, cheesy Romances...we should open a Maple Syrup annex to the bookstore annex to process all the sap!)
Good sides of volunteering at the bookstore annex of local public library:
Sense that you are "making a difference". (So stop bothering me about my cynicism, Obama!)
First pick at all the books that get donated. (To date, I have purchased Clausewitz's On War, Heinlein's Starship Troopers, the second and third volumes of Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago [already got the first], a copy of Don Quixote published 1941, and A Clockwork Orange, along with a near complete collection of P.J. O'Rourke's works from before 1995.)
