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

“Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark ... In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed."

[Still in Melbourne January 1987]”
― Germaine Greer, Daddy, We Hardly Knew You

“Libraries really are wonderful. They're better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts.”
― Jo Walton, Among Others

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
― E.E. Cummings
