Really? I know this is a US article -- but in Canada as a kid my library used to sell "old books" that were too worn to keep in circulation for a nominal fee. Often sold garage sale style once a year. You could get a $10 book for $0.25 or something. As a kid I'd always make a list of books I read and wanted and wait each year to see if I could find some of them there.
- riidom 5y agoHave you been tempted to speed up the "worn out"-factor a bit? It's (was) same here in germany, and I thought of doing so as a kid, but then didn't because books shall be treated well :)
- hungryforcodes 5y agoHaha, I don't think I was that enterprising yet at that age -- but I did "forget" to return one or two I was fond of.
