Same here. I learned to read at 5, by age 7 I was on a first-name basis with the staff of the local library branch, and by age 9 or so I had permission to read everything in there, even the adult books you officially had to be over 12 for (as long as my parents were OK with them)...
Great times. I pretty much lived in that library in those days
. It's not there any more (the Hilversum city library shut down almost all their local branches due to cutbacks a few years ago), but I will always remember it fondly.
