This was quite a score for me at the thrift store several years ago. Being a book lover and therefore a library lover, it was fun to find a book all about different libraries and how people use them. Included here are some famous ones like the Library of Congress and the New York Public library with its marble lions, "Patience" and "Fortitude" outside. But we also learned about the Andrew Heiskell Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, the Tool Lending Library in Berkley California, and the Abraham Lincoln Library on a Navy aircraft carrier. Even the Explorers Club Library is mentioned (I have a friend who attended a wedding there). Published in 1996, the information on the Internet (as a kind of library) is dated but still a fun read.
