Libraries: cafeterias for food that feeds the mind.

Louise Yelin, 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’ve had a lifelong love affair with libraries, and will forever be grateful, as a fan of literature and a professional writer, for the wide-reaching impact of hardworking, passionate librarians.

Holly Schindler, author

Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.

Ray Bradbury, author

When I enter a library, I feel I’ve come home.
