Passing it along.
In today's case of remarkable timing, I grabbed a book from the little free library in my parents' basement - David Bowie: The Last Interview - before heading to the gym twelve floors up. I was pretty sure the library had a copy and I didn't need the physical object, but it looked worth grabbing and carrying around.
Partway through my workout, a guest comes into the gym. From seeing him last week, I know he's the son of a resident and is only here another few days before leaving for LA to return to life as a working musician.
I think the library's probably got it. I think books are great for long trips in metal tubes. I think he's a musician and would get a lot out of it.
I don't know what went through his head when I offered it to him - he didn't see me go and get it from my backpack, just that it more or less materialized out of thin air - but once he got over the surprise, he was quite happy with it. And the library's copy is checked out, which is fine, since I know it'd have taken me ages to get around to it anyway, while he'll be reading it this Thursday.
