That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.”
Aphra Behn, author
Some of my earliest memories are of book readings and story nights at our local library. It’s where I first learned to love reading, and discovered how exciting it is to get lost in the pages of a really good book.
Erin Duffy, author
All you need in life is truth and beauty and you can find both at the Public Library.
Studs Terkel, broadcaster & historian
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
Libraries showed me the world beyond my limited horizons.
