- “When I needed to take a license for a boiler test, the library had the books I needed to pass the test. I’m retired now and download audiobooks and e-books to my iPad2 all of the time. I am 65 years old and have had a library card from the time I was in the third or fourth grade.” -- Lawrence Becker
