The DU Lounge

my tiny town did not have a library, but I could go to the town with a library and check out books. I loved that old place. it was in a very old building which was a bank at one time. It was robbed by Jesse James, and the bullet holes on the exterior are still there. It was the Southern Deposit Bank for those who know.

Anyway, it smelled like a library, had old wooden floors and a librarian who may have been 80 years old.

So anyway, since somebody was always going into town to shop or something, I could usually get there every two weeks, peruse the shelves and check out a stack of books. There were always a few Nancy Drew books included. In the summer I would spend a week with one of my aunts and walk up to the library the first day, check out a load of books, read them and when I returned them, get my two week supply.

It was wonderful.

We also had the Bookmobile lady who visited our house every 2 weeks and she would take back our finished books.
