Libraries: cafeterias for food that feeds the mind.
Louise Yelin, 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
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
A library is more than a brick and mortar building filled with delicious books. It is also a community of people who live to invest in our youth, who read for knowledge and fun, and who are ready to include anyone who walks through the door.
Kate L. McGarry, author
Library/ Here is where people/ One frequently finds/ Lower their voices/ And raise their mind.
