library book return box

While waiting for Satoshi to run some errands at Shijo Station, I people watched and noticed this library book return box.

There were quite a number of people who stopped to return their books.

And then this guy came to pick up the books.

I thought he would just dump all the books into these blue boxes and be on his way...

Instead, he got down on his knees and took each book out and gently placed them into these boxes.

I was impressed on how well he treated the books.
