By semi-regularly, I mean whenever I wanted to get some new books. This was a great thing, as I could check out books that I did not own without having to have them be bought for me. The library really mystified me at a young age, as I was just amazed by the sheer amount of books that they had to offer. However, I was more mystified by something else that the library had. I recall that the library (monthly or bi-monthly or something) would have these sales. In these sales, they would sell away old books (usually paperbacks) that were too worn for regular library use. These books could be purchased very cheaply, as if they did not sell during these sales, they would just be thrown out. I acquired many of my books here. Most of the books that I did acquire from these sales were novels that I got near the end of elementary school. But, I did get a decent amount before I went into elementary school. While my parents normally took me to these sales, it was my grandmother who introduced me to them. Without her introducing me to them, I would have never hounded my parents to actually take
