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.
Arthur Ashe, tennis champion & human rights activist
I cannot think of a day in my life when the library didn’t exert a potent attraction for me, offering a sense of the specialness of each individual’s curiosity and his or her quest to satisfy it.
Scott Turow, lawyer & author
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Henry Ward Beecher, author
Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.
Ray Bradbury, author
The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.
