Someone gave me this book as a gift yesterday - The Librarian's Book of Quotes. This little book is full of wisdoms and inspirational quotations from librarians!!!
"It's funny that we thionk of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed."
"A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty; because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them."
"A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library. The library is the unviersity."
"The death of a library, any library, suggests that the community has lost its soul."
