Other Testimonials
"Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one."
Neil Gaiman
( American Gods )
"With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one -- but no one at all -- can tell you what to read and when and how."
Doris Lessing
( Winner, 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature )
"When I got my eldest daughter a library card I felt as though I had bought her citizenship of that same fabulous world,"
JK Rowling
( Harry Potter Series )
“Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better.”
Sidney Sheldon
( Author & Screenwriter )
“A public library is the most enduring of memorials, the trustiest monument for the preservation of an event or a name or an affection; for it, and it only, is respected by wars and revolutions, and survives them.”
