“She loved the calm regularity of librarianship; each book a treasure trove of information or experience that would be categorised, labelled and stored in its rightful place. And she could think of nothing more magical than spending her days surrounded by stories.”
― Daisy Wood, The Royal Librarian

“I can not explore the world with my own pocket money, but I will explore the world if I sat in the library.”
― Abid Hussain
