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
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

Holly Schindler, author

Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States
Libraries offer, for free, the wisdom of the ages—and sages—and, simply put, there’s something for everyone inside.
