“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”
― Mary Oliver

The photo above includes a rental library inside a general Store. A rental library (also know as lending library ) was a commercially operated library that lent books at a fixed charge per book per day.  In 1923, of 1,100 cities in the US, only 200 had free public libraries. Rental Libraries were a popular solution and they changed bookselling. The now defunct chain Waldenbooks started as a Rental Library chain in 1933 by Lawrence W. Holt and Melvin T. Kafka. By 1948, they had 250 rental libraries doing a brisk business, as well as many leased book departments in stores selling books. In 1962 the first “Walden Book Store” was launched and by the late 1989 there were over 1200 stores across the county.
