Ryan, whose eyes were removed to treat a rare early childhood cancer called retinoblastoma, has been a patron of the library for nearly 60 years. When she was 10, her mom discovered the library’s services and they regularly ordered audiobooks, or talking books, which came on vinyl records they played in their Nevada, Iowa, home every weekend.
Ryan, who now lives in Ames, sometimes wishes she was 10 again because the library’s youth services have expanded so far beyond what she had access to as a kid.

Jason: To find out what libraries were experiencing, we released a survey asking about their needs. We took a portion of the funds and purchased shield guards based on feedback from the survey. Vermont’s prison industry made them for us, which cost us less and allowed us to purchase additional items. We gave some funds to our historical society that oversees the State Museum of Vermont to do some virtual programming. We also provided a grant to our Green Mountain Library Consortium to make more eBooks accessible to a wider audience. Then we reserved some of the money in case the virus had a resurgence.

Before COVID-19 came along, 18-year-old Jack Miller, who has autism, visited the main location of Gail Borden Public Library District (GBPLD) in Elgin, Illinois, three times a week. On two of those visits, he dusted books, alphabetized DVDs, and performed other tasks as part of his school’s special-education vocational studies program; on the third, he came with his family to check out his favorite Impressionist art books and play games in the library’s computer lab even though he has access to the same games at home. ....
