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 outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.
Andrew Carnegie, industrialist & philanthropist
Come, and take choice of all my library, and so beguile thy sorrow.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), playwright
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
