"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 (1835-1919)"Libraries are magical places. The first books I fell in love with were library books. As I child, I would take out stacks too high to carry and pine over them when they had to go back - until, fickle, I fell in love with a new stack of stories."

A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library
— Shelby FooteA good library is a place, a palace where the lofty spirits of all nations and generations meet.
— Samuel NIGER (1883-1956)Libraries are not made; they grow.
— "Book Buying". Obiter Dicta.
Augustine BIRRELL (1850-1933)The library is not a shrine for the worship of books. It is not a temple where literary incense must be burned or where one's devotion to the bound book is expressed in ritual. A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.
— Cited in ALA Bulletin, Oct. 1954, p.475
Norman COUSINS (1915- )Libraries are the wardrobes of literature, whence men, properly informed may bring forth something for ornament, much for curiosity, and more for use.
— William DYER (1636-1696)A man will turn over half a library to make one book.
— Life of Johnson. From James Boswell, April 6, 1775.
Samuel JOHNSON (1709-1784)
