I was very tickled several years ago to discover that the little library in the town near where I lived had a good collection of books on Norse legends and myths. Because I knew Tolkien used those I checked out and read every book in that library on the subject. I don't remember it all because that was about 18 years ago but it was really fun reading. I don't think all the Norse residents there realized what a treasure trove they had in that little library that would be difficult to find anywhere else.... and the funny thing was, this library only had a very few books... just a small town, but they had a cool Norse collection.

I've noticed that small libraries like that tend to make up for being small by having a very good selection in specialized areas. A library with a good Norse myths collection sounds fun :)
