I have a patron looking for a series which she read as a child (about 30 or
so years ago, I'm guessing). It involved a few boys who had their own
private "office" in a little trailer in a junkyard, and they ran around and
had adventures and solved mysteries. That is all she could remember. Any
help would be most appreciated!

I loved (still do!) this series. It's _The Three Investigators_ (older
books are _Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators_ with a cameo
appearance from Alfred Hitchcock) by various authors including Robert
Arthur, William Arden, and M. V. Carey, among others.

This sounds like the ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN series.

Or maybe the MAD SCIENTISTS CLUB? The time period is right (1960s) and there
were paperback compilations of the original [magazine serial issues] that
Scholastic issued for the school crowd.
