"Libraries provide audiobooks to my friend Brian who lost his eyesight. Libraries offer invaluable programs and services to the young, the underprivileged, the disabled, the job seekers and all citizens of our great state."
- Kara
"Our local library (Johnstown (Mary E. Babcock)) has been incredibly impactful on my children. We get books from there all the time, and it really has helped keep them interested in reading by having it close to us. Both of my children are in the gifted Language Arts classes at school, and I believe that our library has played a role in that."
- Zach
"I am handicapped and the library is my world...my link to everything outside my home."
- Mary
"It’s helped me and my son connect - we go on my days off. He plays with other kids and we find bedtime stories. It has not only helped us connect with others in our community but with each other at the end of each day."
- Rian
