As luck would have it, I parked next to this car and it's menagerie at Costco the other day. I was so blown away that I had to take a pic.

I remember looking things up there. I'd like t' see some millennial get a thesis done with that method.
The Dewey decimal system ruled the library when I was a kid.

Research for term papers etc. resulted in about 30 books stacked up on the long library table with a bunch of paper book marks (before sticky notes existed). And you had to put them all back in the right place! Today, all done from a laptop from bed.
When I think about the school library, I think about a book I have from the local school. It was last checked out in 1965. It's The War Of The Worlds. I don't remember who owes all of that late fee 
I fully intended for my youngest child to return the book her senior year before graduating but spaced it off.

Somewhere in this house is a library book, "A Field Guide to Mammals" that I checked out of the Atlanta Public Library in 1972. I suppose I need to return it next time they have an amnesty day to waive the late fee...

Apologies for continuing off topic. Back in the day, books just had a different place in our lives compared to today. My parents had real bookshelves with very heavy books on art, history, culture, etc. Beautiful bindings, leather covers, colored plates, embossing. Some were antiques. A prized possession was the Encyclopedia Britannica, for the three kids in school. 30 some odd volumes at ten pounds each covering every topic known to man and the go-to resource for school projects. Today, most bookshelves don't hold books and "books" are electronic. Encyclopedias are now wiki. I miss the heft and musty smell of a good book.
We had the set of World Book Encyclopedias.
The initial set plus all of the annual update editions filled up an entire one of those metal screw together book shelves.

I grew up with that set on the shelves, along with a HUGE dictionary roughly 9 inches thick with a print date in 1949 that sat on a pedestal on top of the book shelf. I had developed a habit of putting my finger on a random word as I passed by and look at it, then flip to another random page as I continued to where I was headed. There's words in that dictionary that now hold an entirely different meaning. I attribute that to folks misinterpreting words because they're too lazy to study and learn.
