“A library is many things. It’s a place to go,
to get in out of the rain. It’s a place to go if you want to sit and think. But
particularly it is a place where books live, and where you can get in touch
with other people, and other thoughts, through books. If you want to find out
about something, the information is in the reference books — the dictionaries,
the encyclopedias, the atlases. If you like to be told a story, the library is
the place to go. Books hold most of the secrets of the world, most of the
thoughts that men and women have had. And when you are reading a book, you and
the author are alone together — just the two of you. A library is a good place
to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement
and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or
undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are
good company.” – E.B. White, Writer/Author
