At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better.
--President Barack Obama
What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it thinks about education. --Harold Howe, former US
Commissioner of Education
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
--Henry Ward Beecher Libraries enable the past to talk to the future.
--Edward Cornish
"School libraries help teachers teach and children learned. Children and teachers need library resources--especially books--and the expertise of a librarian to succeed. Books, information technology and school librarians who are part of the schools' professional team are basic ingredients for student achievement." Former First Lady, Laura Bush
