CruisingAgain Posted July 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 20, 2018 most have a library. you are supposed to read and return. I leave my own books I finish and looks like lots of others do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasekeye Posted July 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I have been on Legend & Splendor, neither have book exchanges.....much to my dismay. There is a library on most ships with the books tagged like u may find in your community library. I’m sure if you were finished with a book you brought from home and wanted to “donate” that book by leaving it on a shelf, nobody would complain. On that note...I doubt the “Carnival Library” book would set off alarms when you go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilcruisers Posted July 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 20, 2018 There were a lot of books in the library on the breeze. That is a great idea to leave old books there. A lot of people have digital books but I would still read a paperback in a pinch. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missileer Posted July 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We leave books that we have brought with us when we finish them. Many others do also. The libraries are on the honor system and have a pretty good selection. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown815 Posted July 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I have a digital reader but nothing beats having a physical book to read on a cruise - too much water around, and I am so clumsy. I have borrowed from the library when I have run through all of the books I brought with me, and I do leave my completed books in the library. But I have not seen a book exchange.

swodog94 Posted July 21, 2018 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Concur. I always bring several books with me, and any that I finish I leave in the Library. I've never had to borrow a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly_Toast Posted July 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted July 21, 2018 One year I found a book in the library that had a note written in it that the previous owner had finished it and left it in the library for future cruisers. I intended on reading it and putting it back but inadvertently took it home with me. A year later we cruised on the same boat so I took it back. Funny thing was I never did finish it.

lenquixote66 Posted July 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Do the ships have book exchanges for paperbacks? I have never been on a cruise that has but I have left copies of my books in the library . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
