No Books, to Books, to eBooks, to Audio Books.

I grew up in a very rural region where access to public library systems was not convenient for borrowing/returning books. When I moved into my first city, a library card was one of my first priorities. Later I moved to Ottawa and again a library card was a priority. When eBooks became available, I jumped onboard even though I live 200 meters from an Ottawa library branch. The relationships between Ontario libraries (Ottawa, Mississauga, Burlington, London and Hamilton) have expanded my online selection so I'm never at a loss.

For the last 10+ years audio books have been part of my daily routine. Commuting to the office, taking a walk, working around the house, or sitting on the couch, I am present in someone else's story.

Thank you Ottawa Public Library system!
