Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.
Lady Bird Johnson, First Lady of the United States
Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open.
Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States
Libraries: cafeterias for food that feeds the mind.
Louise Yelin, author

Scott Turow, lawyer & author
The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.
