When I was around Bri's age, I would ride the bike home from school, pick up yesterday's books, ride down to the library & get 2 more (the limit). Mostly exploration & stuff, but I did love Biggles. I think I read Kon Tiki 7-8 times.
Must have been fairly young, though, as I distinctly remember asking for Masters & Johnson & was refused...
Then there was the day when the library moved to the new building - you could take out 20-something books! Nirvana!
