I’m of a fearsome mind to throw my arms around every living librarian who crosses my path, on behalf of the souls they never knew they saved.
Barbara Kingsolver, Virginia author
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Henry Ward Beecher, author
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
All you need in life is truth and beauty and you can find both at the Public Library.
Studs Terkel, broadcaster & historian
The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.
