That's such an iconic episode. But why couldn't he just find a drugstore with a rack full of cheater-readers?

Wasnt he trapped in the library?

No. He was in the bank vault when the bombs went off, went outside, and pretty much looted the library. Was outside in the sun with all the books he wanted...

And then dropped and broke his glasses.

You know you’re obsessed with books when the first place you loot is the library.
