While Vacationing over the weekend in the ATL, we decided to stay at a Country Inn. I noticed on top of the TV a flier for a new program that Country Inns were offering called “READ IT & RETURN”.
Its really simple.
You check in.
You check out the library that the hotel has right there in its lobby.
If you see a book you would like to read, you borrow it.
You Read it.
You return it to the next Country Inn you stay in.
VERY COOL.
I just thought this was the best thing EVER! (but I AM a reader)
I went down to the lobby to check out the books. Needless to say, at this particular Country Inn, the books were all children focused – from Treasure Island to Lemony Snicket.
I still thought this was a GREAT idea.
During the trip, we had to switch hotels, and stayed in another Country Inn. I decided to try out their library.
This time I hit the Jackpot.
The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People by David Niven
I am reading it, and will return it on my next visit to a Country Inn!
(I might have to just find a Country Inn here in the area to return the book – I don’t know how soon I’ll actually be traveling again!)
This is a cool idea - promoting reading (which is always a plus in my book)(pun intended) - and it makes the hotel feel like a safe cozy place to stay!!
