“To my thinking, a great librarian must have a clear head, a strong hand, and, above all, a great heart. And when I look into the future, I am inclined to think that most of the men who achieve this greatness will be women.”
Melvil Dewey

“Reading is a mighty engine, beside which steam and electricity sink into insignificance.”
Melvil Dewey

“A library's function is to give the public in the quickest and cheapest way: information, inspiration, and recreation. If a better way than the book can be found, we should use it.”
Melvil Dewey
