"There's no place like a library. I can remember the feeling of being there as a kid, as a teen, and walking into the children's room week after week with my own children, sitting upon the enchanted floor with a pile of books, and letting the connection begin."

"From my earliest memory of the bookmobile, where I checked out the first book I ever read on my own, to the libraries I've frequented in every single town I've inhabited, I can say there is nothing but goodness associated with me and libraries. I know of no other single resource more available to us and more valuable to us than our public libraries, where every patron is indeed equal. Libraries are a pulsing vein of deliciousness, knowledge, the new worlds of fiction, connecting readers to the act of reading, wherever they go. Amen."

"I love libraries. My first job was as a page in my local library. I was 14 years old and earned 55 cents per hour but the experience was invaluable. I also love librarians. Librarians are the guardians of human knowledge. Though I am but a dreamer and writer of books, I will never forget my indebtedness to librarians."
