Pre-smartphone was a very different time.
There were literally phone numbers you could call and someone at a library would look up the answer to your question. In like, a day or so. And call you back with the info.
I have a friend who works for a library. They still offer this service. I don't think anyone under the age of 70 has used it in some time.
my first job ever was at a library. dewey decimal system anyone?
I worked in my college library, so no we didn’t use the Dewey decimal system.
Wow, seriously?
Imagine how many people actually call from a smartphone their kids bought them.
