A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.
Andrew Carnegie, industrialist & philanthropist
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
Books are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind—humanity in print.
Barbara Tuchman, historian & author
All you need in life is truth and beauty and you can find both at the Public Library.
Studs Terkel, broadcaster & historian
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.
