“The Library is the one constant in my life. I still love the feeling of excitement when I read a new book. But I also love that I can go to the library to listen to music or watch videos. I love that I can learn how to operate a computer.”

Jorge, Austin-Irving branch

“Since retiring, I started going to the Library twice to learn how to use the computer. I just mastered maneuvering the mouse! Every session at the Library makes me feel proud of what I could do.”

Pearl, patron

“I’ve been going to the Library for computer courses. Thanks to their support, I have decided to apply to college and take GED courses.”
