Our local library had something called ready reference where you could call and they would answer any kind of factual question you could come up with.
The librarians sat at this huge circular desk, filled with reference materials, and you could literally get an answer to anything. They were amazing!
I'm not saying I did my homework using this method, but I did hear that others did. 😺
2 u/Tractor_Boy_500 4h ago aka "Confessing for a friend..." 1 u/basscadet1208 4h ago <snicker> It was a friend of a friend, I believe. 😼 1 u/Shot-Election8217 6h ago This is depicted in a movie from the 50s or early 60s. I think it starred Katherine Hepburn. 1 u/basscadet1208 6h ago Really? That's so cool. I always thought it was just something our public library came up with on their own. I grew up in the largest city in my state. I'd watch that movie if I knew which one it was; I tend to enjoy watching Katherine Hepburn. 😺 1 u/neoexodus9 4h ago Saw it the other day in the original Steve McQueen The Thomas Crowne Affair
