Interlibrary loan and the use of the Libby catalog daily is an important part of my life. I have poor vision. I can read regular hardcover books but only a few pages at a time because it hurts my eyes. I rely upon large print books (the selection is limited) and ebooks and e-audios from Libby. I read 100 books a year. I’m disabled and do not have a car. I don’t watch much tv. Books have been my entertainment and favorite hobby since I was a little girl. I don’t have any other options here. What am I supposed to do without interlibrary loan and other catalogs normally available to me through Libby? Please don’t take away my books.

I love the library for its public study spaces. It's great being surrounded by other community members also studying, whether it be for school, a topic in their professional work or just something they want to dive deeper into. Life is unavoidably challenging and expensive, so I feel everyone needs the library as a place to spend a quiet hour or two at no cost studying whatever they find worthwhile and interesting.
