Laura Bush
Image
Libraries are community treasure chests, loaded with a wealth of information available to everyone equally, and the key to that treasure chest is the library card. I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card.
Laura Bush

It's a huge advantage to have parents who read to you. And it's an advantage that lasts a lifetime.
Laura Bush
Image
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.
Laura Bush
Image
Children who are read to learn two things: First, that reading is worthwhile, and second, that they are worthwhile.
