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
Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Henri Frederic Amiel, philosopher
Books are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind—humanity in print.
Barbara Tuchman, historian & author
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.
