“A great library doesn't have to be big or beautiful. It doesn't have to have the best facilities or the most efficient staff or the most users. A great library provides. It is enmeshed in the life of a community in a way that makes it indispensable. A great library is one nobody notices because it is always there, and always has what people need.”

Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book."
