"… I appreciate being able to read. It allows my brain to be active and curious- it allows me to go places guided only by my imagination. These journeys are happy times."
- Francis, Library at Home Patron
“A lot of the residents who participate in this, reading is all they do. It has brightened their life and most of all improved their quality of life. They are getting to read books that they would never have gotten to read if not for this program. Some of our residents have no family and they find family through the books they read. It is such a blessing that ACPL provides this for [Lutheran Life Villages].”
- Kathy, Activity Director
