Mom would take me and my sisters to the library every week. I read a lot. I loved the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, the Happy Hollisters, the Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, Danny Dunn, and the Three Investigators.

Turner Free was the local library.

But I preferred the one in Avon. They had a decent sci-fi collection. It was here that I discovered Asimov, Clarke, and Bradbury.
