John Grisham, Virginia author
Come, and take choice of all my library, and so beguile thy sorrow.

Erin Duffy, 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.
