“In the words of author Stephen Chbosky: "Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.”
Amanda Jones, That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America

“I understand that some parents don't want their teens to read about sex. Those parents need to police their own children's reading and stop policing mine.”
Amanda Jones, That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America

“But the older you get, the less linear your memories, and the more everything seems to circle back to something else.”
Liane Moriarty, Here One Moment

“I’ve long believed that the ones who have more joy win.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Public libraries seem to me a powerful example of the way that gift economies can coexist with market economies, at a larger scale. . . To me, they embody the civic-scale practice of a gift economy and the notion of common property. Libraries are models of gift economies, providing free access not only to books but also music, tools, seeds, and more. We don't each. have to own everything. The books at the library belong to everyone, serving the public with free books. . . Take the books, enjoy them, bring them back so someone else can enjoy them, with literary abundance for all. And all you need is a library card, which is a kind of agreement to respect and take care of the common good.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
