Wow, how did you get access to the collection I had as a kid?
Seriously, those out of print books were the best... I love Homer Price. Had the rhyme from the story where the whole town gets the same song stuck in their heads going through mine just yesterday actually.
My local library hadn’t bought a new book since 1975 :)
Seriously, even the adult section, it was all macrame and making coffee tables out of tire rims, and how to form a successful commune. The kid’s section was fantastic- tons of kid’s books from the forties to the sixties, I can still smell those special library bindings.
Except for the secret stash of Sweet Valley High books in a revolving rack by the magazines in the Adult section. Those were kept well up to date :)
