All you need in life is truth and beauty and you can find both at the Public Library.
Studs Terkel, broadcaster & historian
That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.”
Aphra Behn, 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
Libraries are a pillar of liberty; they equalize and transform.
Matthew Vossler
Library/ Here is where people/ One frequently finds/ Lower their voices/ And raise their mind.
