Library/ Here is where people/ One frequently finds/ Lower their voices/ And raise their mind.
Richard Armour, poet
Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.
Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States
The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.
Carl T. Rowan, journalist & author
Books are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind—humanity in print.
Barbara Tuchman, historian & author
Funding libraries should be our number one national priority.
