I was a designated "special borrower." The library allowed me to borrow 11 at a time instead of the usual 10. But I only read 2 or 3 a day.
I first used a rope to tie my books to the rack over my bike's back wheel. Then I found an old leather belt in my dad's closet that I burned extra holes in with a heated nail. I would then strap the books on. It was pretty neat!
Now days of course the backpack does everything.
