Stick Your Nose in the Card Catalogue

In 1974, the public library in Upper Arlington, Ohio added scratch-and-sniff scents to its card catalog.  The idea was that the card in the catalog would have a scent, and then the book on the shelf would have a matching scent. So you could find your books by smell. There were about 60 scents in total, including apple, chocolate, garlic, lemon, roses, root beer, leather, pizza, orange, strawberry, candles, pine, cheddar cheese, clover, and smoke.
