No Favorites, But...

Nonagenarian patrons make use of all the conveniences at the public library, including the self-checkout machine.

Some people are so special!

A staff person checked the patron’s card to make sure it was up-to-date and saw that the patron was 98 years old. The two had a nice conversation about using the library.
