I love libraries! They opened the world to me as a child and continue to do so now. Librarians are fantastic, hardworking people who go out of their way.
June Shaw, Author
Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.
Ray Bradbury, author
Throughout my formal education I spent many, many hours in public and school libraries. Libraries became courts of last resort, as it were. The current definitive answer to almost any question can be found within the four walls of most libraries.
Arthur Ashe, tennis champion & human rights activist
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
Books are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind—humanity in print.
