Summer vacation meant time for your mom to drag you down there, kicking and screaming, to start your summer reading program.
While she ran errands in town (e.g. - Lowry's, Southern 5 & 10, Bohannon's), you'd make a few perfunctory selections and sit down at one of the kid's tables.
Soon, the big floor fan would lull you to sleep with its soothing rumble.
I can... almost... hear... i... zzzzzzzzz.
