Me too!! It was a very low key, non tech, operation. We made change out of a cigar box. (1998) Books were brought in and accepted/declined depending on how many of that particular copy we had and the popularity of the author.
It was so much fun learning about new authors, and their 'other' names.......keeping the books properly organized, and oh, how I hated the Harlequin novels in their little red covers!
