I grew up in Jacksonville IL, a town of 20,000 with wonderful librarians. When we were young teenagers my friend Cathy put her name on the wait-list for Lady Chatterley's Lover. A nosy friend of my mom's saw Cathy's name there and told the librarian she couldn't let her have it. The librarian said Cathy was entitled to read the book. And we did...aloud that summer!
I had a similar story! My parents had to send in a signed note saying I was allowed to take out any library book I wanted, even from the adult section. (I think the LA Library lets all kids do that now.)
Wendy a beautiful memory. I had a similar story in ansonia xx
