Come, and take choice of all my library, and so beguile thy sorrow.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), playwright
Libraries are absolutely at the center of my life. Since I couldn’t afford to go to college, I attended the library three or four days a week from the age of eighteen on, and graduated from the library when I was twenty-eight.
Ray Bradbury, author
My Alma mater was books, a good library… I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.
Malcolm X, human rights activist
Libraries offer, for free, the wisdom of the ages—and sages—and, simply put, there’s something for everyone inside.
