Stopped at a tiny library in Leadville and the whole shelf was just repair manuals

I ducked into the Lake County public library in Leadville last Tuesday to kill 20 minutes while my truck got a tire patched. There was one shelf near the window labeled "Fix It Yourself" with maybe 30 old books on plumbing, small engines, and drywall, all with checkout cards in the back from the 80s. Do small town libraries still keep shelves like this, or has anyone else seen one that's actually still getting used?
