I can recall near the back of the kids room there was a section for graphic novels. They were somewhere between comics and books. I think they were the perfect bridge between children’s books and adult literature.

I enjoyed reading Tin Tin and Elf Quest.

As I grew older, I began reading the fiction books on the spinning book rack on the second floor. These books were later relocated to the kids section after remodeling.

We would often borrow VHS tapes from the library. I remember the library had full sets of Red Dwarf and Black Adder. I watched these often. I think this is where I got my peculiar sense of humor.

I actually got to attend a Red Dwarf convention in Seattle. I remember meeting Craig Charles and the cast, getting autographs, and showing off my own dread locks to Craig. It is a cherished memory from my childhood.
