  • Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.

  • My Alma mater was books, a good library… I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

  • All you need in life is truth and beauty and you can find both at the Public Library.

  • I love libraries! They opened the world to me as a child and continue to do so now. Librarians are fantastic, hardworking people who go out of their way.
