Brandon Sanderson
“Not all librarians are evil cultists. Some librarians are instead vengeful undead who want to suck your soul.”
Brandon Sanderson (Alcatraz Smedry), Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones

Terry Pratchett
“People flock in, nevertheless, in search of answers to those questions only librarians are considered to be able to answer, such as "Is this the laundry?" "How do you spell surreptitious?" and, on a regular basis, "Do you have a book I remember reading once? It had a red cover and it turned out they were twins.”
Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

Garrison Keillor
“Librarians, Dusty, possess a vast store of politeness. These are people who get asked regularly the dumbest questions on God's green earth. These people tolerate every kind of crank and eccentric and mouth breather there is.”
Garrison Keillor, Dusty And Lefty: The Lives of the Cowboys

“Every reader his or her book.
Every book its reader.”
S.R. Ranganathan

“In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us to swim.”
Linton Weeks
