“Reading is important.
Books are important.
Librarians are important. (Also, libraries are not child-care facilities, but sometimes feral children raise themselves among the stacks.)”
― Neil Gaiman

“A library will continue to function nicely without every other position, but without the pages it would grind to a stop within a quiet afternoon. All pages know this...”
― Don Borchert, Free for All: Oddballs, Geeks, and Gangstas in the Public Library

“Who doesn’t want an exploding wicker chicken?”
― Gail Carriger, Etiquette & Espionage

“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.”
― Vicki Myron, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
