As a strong proponent of literacy, I see libraries as a shining light. Libraries helped open the world to me and they continue to enlighten me. Take a trip at the library. Kids who read succeed. It was a librarian who showed me the way.
Librarians change more lives than they know.
I was so overwhelmed by the amount of written material. I felt suffocated by the knowledge that if I lived to be many hundreds of years old I could not read them all . . Since then I have made much use of this most obvious symbol of civilization. The best thing about the library is that it is available not only to me, but to everyone. It does not discriminate.
