I was going to link this one Sesame Street book I remembered growing up (I could've sworn it was "[Someone] Goes To The Library" where the [Someone] was probably Grover but could've been Big Bird or Elmo) and declare that it should be required reading for everyone... but I couldn't find the book on Google or Amazon :( I do remember Grover (or whoever) being amazed! that you could check out videotapes and records from the library! because it's not just books!

(So that was my exposure to American library culture; I didn't do much public librarying when I was a kid, because I grew up in Taiwan back when there wasn't much in the way of English books (which was all I was interested in reading) so I had to make do with my bilingual school's library and build my own personal book collection with Scholastic book order forms.)
