“I can't have information I know would be of interest to someone and not share it.”
Sanford Berman

“Libraries represent the sole contemporary American institution with the potential for making available a wide-ranging, genuinely diverse spectrum of opinions, cultural expressions, and ideas in an environment that is commercial-free and huckster-free, a commons where people can gather and select, in an un-intimidating atmosphere, whatever interests them, delights them, or even repels them--whatever they want to know about.”
Sanford Berman

“I can't have information I know would be of use to someone and not share it.”
