The library with no rules

“People can borrow, take home, bring back or keep,” says Guanlao, 60, a former Filipino tax accountant, ice-cream salesman and government employee known by all as Nanie. “Or they can share and pass on to another. But basically they should just take, take!” Guanlao reckons books “have lives, and have to lead them. They have work to do. And the act of giving a book …it makes you complete. It makes your life meaningful and abundant.”
