When Robert finds books using the online catalog, he’s where he belongs.

I’ve been an avid reader all my life. About ten years ago I became an invalid. Fortunately I discovered the Library’s online search system. Now I can find and select any book by any author…about 99% of the time.

God Bless You! I cannot thank you enough!
