"It occurred to me that Heaven must be a place where the library is open
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. No...eight days a week." Alan
Bradley, Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.
"If you ask a question, Google will come back with 10,000
answers. A librarian will come back with the correct answer."
Neil Gaiman, Portsmouth, NH 6/22/11
"Reading a book is
like rewriting it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all
your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own
terms." -Angela Carter, novelist and journalist (1940-1992)
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends
... and the most patient of
teachers."
Charles W. Eliot
"I'm of a fearsome mind to throw my arms around every living
librarian who crosses my path, on behalf of the souls they never knew they
saved. "
— Barbara Kingsolver
