Libraries do one thing that no other institution does and that's provide access to all.
LeVar Burton
Image
I'd like to be born the son of a duke with 90,000 pounds a year, on an enormous estate.... And I'd like to have the most enormous library, and I'd like to think that I could read those books forever and forever, and die unlamented, unknown, unsung, unhonored - and packed with information.
Richard Francis Burton
Image
Libraries made me - as a reader, as a writer, and as a human being.

Nothing is pleasanter to me than exploring in a library.
Walter Savage Landor

It may not seem like much, but think of the consequences. One overdue library book today, the collapse of the universe by the end of the week.

New York's such a wonderful city. Although I was at the library today. The guy was very rude. I said, I'd like a card. He says, You have to prove you're a citizen of New York. So I stabbed him.

You're always in the kitchen, Alianora said when she poked her head through the door a moment later. Or the library. Don't you ever do anything but cook and read?
Patricia C. Wrede

I discovered me in the library. I went to find me in the library.
Ray Bradbury
Image
I'm not particularly inventive. If you left me in а room and told me to write a novel, I wouldn't be able to do it. But if you gave me two years in a public library around the corner, I could. It all comes from sort of mixing the true and the invented. I'm not a fabulist. I'm more of a reporter.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Image
I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination.
Neil Gaiman
Image
Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Image
With all the things I know, one could write a book... Although, one might also say that, considering all that I don’t know, one could create a library.
Sacha Guitry

The girls who come into my library adore the prettiness of fairies, theminiature-ness. But they are also nature lovers and lovers of adventure -- the future wild women of America. I couldn't help thinking that these little girls who love fairies deserve something lively.
Laura Amy Schlitz

The justices have constitutionally protected obscenity in libraries, filth over cable television, and now unlimited internet pornography.
Phyllis Schlafly
Image
You became a reader because you saw and heard someone you admired enjoying the experience, someone led you to the world of books even before you could read, let you taste the magic of stories, took you to the library, and allowed you to stay up later at night to read in bed.
Jim Trelease
Image
I go into my library and all history unrolls before me.
Alexander Smith
Image
Schools have never been about getting access to information. That's the job of libraries. Schools and universities have nobler missions as gentle gatekeepers. Their role is to control ideas on the loose and to present the best and noblest ideas to the young.
Andrew Nikiforuk

The problem with life is, by the time you can read women like a book, your library card has expired.
Milton Berle
Image
In some areas, [Getty Images has] more images than the rest of the market put together. But libraries are being built up at a terrific pace. A photographer in a lifetime will produce maybe a million images, and there are about 15,000 professionals at work out there.
Mark Getty

If all you leave in the library is books that you think speak to everyone, what are you going to have? You'd have nothing.
Judy Blume
Image
When I was about eight, I decided that the most wonderful thing, next to a human being, was a book.
Margaret Walker
Image
For me, the historical and genealogical library is the one I use. I'm working on, I'll say, it's a time travel novel. I haven't written very much of it. That's the dirty secret of the Cullman center: The writers don't write their fiction there, they just do their research.
Andrew Sean Greer
Image
I have this book club, and we don't read one book we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time.
Claire Danes
Image
Between notes, he had contemplated means of destroying Myrna Minkoff but had reached no satisfactory conclusion. His most promising scheme had involved getting a book on munitions from the library, constructing a bomb, and mailing it in plain paper to Myrna. Then he remembered that his library card had been revoked.
