Quotes by Paula Poundstone (?)

“Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up ’cause they’re looking for ideas.”

“It's funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed.”
