A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.
Andrew Carnegie, industrialist & philanthropist
Libraries are absolutely at the center of my life. Since I couldn’t afford to go to college, I attended the library three or four days a week from the age of eighteen on, and graduated from the library when I was twenty-eight.
Ray Bradbury, author
The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.
Carl T. Rowan, journalist & author
There is no problem a library card can’t solve.
Eleanor Brown, author
Come, and take choice of all my library, and so beguile thy sorrow.
