Was that the intent?  I've never heard of a library providing items like that before.  I would imagine that storage space required for items like that would require would preclude most libraries from those sorts of offerings. 
I don't know when or why they started doing it. It was quite popular when I first knew about it. I remember they were displayed on a couple walls. I don't know if all of their I inventory was displayed at once or if they rotated it. We have a very nice and large library for a town this size.

Maybe, but I'm not so sure about that. Maybe Anne can tell us.

No, you didn't need a deposit, but there were late charges.

I picked up a new book today, despite died it was time for a serious book after all the summer books. It is The Quartet, Orchestrating the Second American Revolution 1788 -1789 by Joseph J. Ellis. Has anyone else read anything by this author? He is a new one for me.

Sorry, can't help you with that one.  I"m not familiar with him, but I'm not big on reading about the American Revolution or that time period in general.

I enjoy American history so that is why I picked it up. I just reread my post, don't know what the auto correct thought I was trying to say, but it was wrong!!!😁

I'm sure glad I don't have to fool with auto correct. Some of my friends send me some really weird messages.

I have an android tablet and it's drivin' me nuts though. Of course I've never used anything but Microsux so that could be why. I did use a friends Apple years ago but not enough to really figure it out.
