All you need in life is truth and beauty and you can find both at the Public Library.
Studs Terkel, broadcaster & historian

Arthur Ashe, tennis champion & human rights activist
Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Henri Frederic Amiel, philosopher
