Books are for use.
    Books are for all; or Every reader his book.
    Every book its reader.
    Save the time of the reader.
    A library is a growing organism.

                   — Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (1892-1972)

Mary Kay is one of the secret masters of the world: a librarian. They control information. Don't ever piss one off.

Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read. Forget I mentioned it...Rise for the flag, salute.
                    -- (Francis Vincent) Frank Zappa

I pray that no child of mine would ever descend into such a place as a library. They are indeed most dangerous places and unfortunate is she or he who is lured into such a hellhole of enjoyment, stimulus, facts, passion and fun.
        
                   -- Willy Russell

My Alma mater was books, a good library... I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.
