Making Inferences from Implicit Details

There was a bookstore uptown on gay street
Which I visited and inhaled that wonderful
odor
Of new books
Even today I read hardcover as a preference
paperback only
As a last resort

—"A Poem For My Librarian, Mrs. Long,"
Nikki Giovanni

What inference can you make based on the implicit detail in this passage?

The poem takes place in the past.
The speaker is describing her favorite bookstore.
The speaker is now a librarian.
The bookstore described is now closed.
