'84 model, and dude, I basically lived at the library - both school and public. It was a ~16km bike ride from my parents farm to the library.

Only one of my ~6 nephews/nieces show interest in libraries, but honestly? That's a pretty good hit-rate. They're not for everyone, and never were.

Glad to hear we weren't the last of the library kids

I'm from '91 and I basically read a book a week during my teens.
