Quote from Germaine Greer. "Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark... In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed.

Quote from Laura Bush. 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.
Quote from Steve Prefontaine. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.
Quote by Richard Powers, "Librarian is a service occupation. Gas station attendant of the mind.
"Never stop trying to become qualified for the job." Quote from Darwin Smith, CEO Kimberly Clark 1971-1991
The secret of success in life is for man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. ~~ Benjamin Disraeli
Every child needs a safe place to fall - a place where he or she can explore things without worrying about failure and judgement. A library is one of those places. In a library you can learn by following your own nose, which is very different from someone telling you what you should learn. Once a kid learns a library is hers, to use as she wants, the world opens up. I've seen it happen. It happened to me. ~~ Bill Harley

She's the first person to smile at me today. The first to make me feel wanted. Understood. I blink back tears. It's unknown how many student's lives librarians have saved by welcoming loners at lunch. From Starfish by Lisa Fipps
I am always doing that which I cannot do yet, in order that I may learn how to do it. Vincent Van Gogh

If librarians ruled the world, reading would be a varsity sport - unknown
