Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.
Lady Bird Johnson, First Lady of the United States
I cannot think of a day in my life when the library didn’t exert a potent attraction for me, offering a sense of the specialness of each individual’s curiosity and his or her quest to satisfy it.
Scott Turow, lawyer & author
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
The public library is one of the great strongholds of democracy. Who doesn’t love a library? It is a place you can go in any town and discover the world.
Pat MacEnulty, author
Funding libraries should be our number one national priority.
