My husband is going to 62 on monday and he never received a card in the mail. Can he go to the library to fill out for a card?

Don't wait on having your card mailed... the Dept of Aging appears to be rather dysfunctional in sending out cards (they told me it was the Bureau of Motor Vehicle's fault). Go to a senior center & fill out a simple form. (You'll need to show ID.) The top part of the form will be FAXed to the DOA and the bottom part can be used as a temporary card until yours arrives in the mail. (I would avoid the library. I asked for an application at my local library and they had no idea what I was talking about.)
