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.
Erin Duffy, author
My Alma mater was books, a good library… I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.
Malcolm X, human rights activist
Library/ Here is where people/ One frequently finds/ Lower their voices/ And raise their mind.
Richard Armour, poet
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
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.
