Getting that library card was the greatest thing! Our librarians were old-fashioned and they printed your name on the card with a pen that they had to dip in ink - I thought that was so weird yet cool, at the time. And as I got older, the librarians knew me so well that they let me take books out of the adult section on my kids card. Out of curiosity, I looked up the distance from my home to the branch library that I went to. I'd walk 2.40 miles round-trip at least weekly, carrying a stack of books - lol.
