Libraries are more important today than when I was a kid.
John Grisham, Virginia author
When you are growing up, there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully—the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you. The public library is a great equalizer.
Keith Richards, musician
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
If you want to find your happy place, just go to the library.
Lizzie K. Foley, author
