Some of my earliest memories are of book readings and story nights at our local library. It’s where I first learned to love reading, and discovered how exciting it is to get lost in the pages of a really good book.

Libraries offer, for free, the wisdom of the ages—and sages—and, simply put, there’s something for everyone inside.
Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States
Come, and take choice of all my library, and so beguile thy sorrow.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), playwright
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
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.
