it's the library François Villon at Colonel Fabien ; they have a "bourse aux livres" a few times a year, they will have a poster in the entry to tell the date a few weeks in advance (it's probably a regular schedule every 3 months or so but i've never paid attention enough to notice...). it is usually on a saturday, they put a table in the entry and everyone can put their books to give away on the table, and if you see a book which interests you you can take it. since i never know when the bourse will happen, whenever i have some books to give away i just give them to the librarian and tell them it's for the bourse aux livres, and they put them away until the next one. i think it's a really great idea, i'm surprised they don't do it in all libraries (maybe they do it in others, i don't know ; François Villon is "my" library).
