Library/ Here is where people/ One frequently finds/ Lower their voices/ And raise their mind.
Richard Armour, poet
Libraries: cafeterias for food that feeds the mind.
Louise Yelin, author
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
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
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.
