If you love books, chances are, you love libraries too. Libraries are places where anything is possible; you can travel the world, uncover hidden mysteries, and even heal a broken heart, all inside the walls of a library.

Even today, in our hyper-connected world, libraries are an indispensable resource. They provide a safe space to learn and discover for anyone who seeks it. No matter who you are or where you come from, everyone is welcome, and best of all, all the books are free! (as long as you remember to return them on time, that is!)

But these days, many libraries are in real danger of closing for good. For some, it’s due to a lack of funding, and for others, it’s a lack of public enthusiasm. In a world where you can find the answer to any question you can think of with a simple Google search, these community institutions are no longer considered the ultimate route to knowledge.

Yet while we might not rely on libraries for information in the same way we used to, they contain so many wonders to discover that can never be found online. And so now, more than ever, it’s time to celebrate and embrace our local libraries; otherwise, we risk losing them for good.

I’ve collected 50 of my favorite quotes about libraries and librarians from famous authors, actors, politicians, and other prominent figures in this post. These quotes epitomize the magic of the humble library and remind me just how valuable these sacred spaces are. They also leave with a renewed enthusiasm for books and learning, and I hope they’ll do the same for you too.

Inspiring Quotes About Libraries and Librarians

“If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty. ― John F. Kennedy

“In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us to swim.” ― Linton Weeks

“Libraries were full of ideas—perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.” ― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass

“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.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish

“Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.” ― Walter Cronkite

“People can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.” ― Saul Bellow

“Don’t ever apologise to an author for buying something in paperback, or taking it out from a library (that’s what they’re there for…use your library). Don’t apologise to this author for buying books second hand, or getting them from bookcrossing or borrowing a friend’s copy. What’s important to me is that people read the books and enjoy them, and that, at some point in there, the book was bought by someone. And that people who like things, tell other people. The most important thing is that people read…” ― Neil Gaiman

“I don’t believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don’t have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn’t go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.” ― Ray Bradbury

“In principle and reality, libraries are life-enhancing palaces of wonder.” ― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

“A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.” ― E.B. White

“A great library doesn’t have to be big or beautiful. It doesn’t have to have the best facilities or the most efficient staff or the most users. A great library provides. It is enmeshed in the life of a community in a way that makes it indispensable. A great library is one nobody notices because it is always there, and always has what people need.” ― Vicki Myron, Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World

“An original idea. That can’t be too hard. The library must be full of them.” ― Stephen Fry

“Rule number one: Don’t fuck with librarians.” ― Neil Gaiman

“Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.” ― Ray Bradbury

“A silent Library is a sad Library. A Library without patrons on whom to pile books and tales and knowing and magazines full of up-to-the-minute politickal fashions and atlases and plays in pentameter! A Library should be full of exclamations! Shouts of delight and horror as the wonders of the world are discovered or the lies of the heavens are uncovered or the wild adventures of devil-knows-who sent romping out of the pages. A Library should be full of now-just-a-minutes and that-can’t-be-rights and scientific folk running skelter to prove somebody wrong. It should positively vibrate with laughing at comedies and sobbing at tragedies, it should echo with gasps as decent ladies glimpse indecent things and indecent ladies stumble upon secret and scandalous decencies! A Library should not shush; it should roar!” ― Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two

“When I got [my] library card, that was when my life began.” ― Rita Mae Brown

“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it feels about education.” ― Harold Howe

“Libraries really are wonderful. They’re better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts.” ― Jo Walton, Among Others

“People flock in, nevertheless, in search of answers to those questions only librarians are considered to be able to answer, such as “Is this the laundry?” “How do you spell surreptitious?” and, on a regular basis, “Do you have a book I remember reading once? It had a red cover and it turned out they were twins.” ― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

“If your library is not “unsafe,” it probably isn’t doing its job.” ― John Berry

“The library in summer is the most wonderful thing because there you get books on any subject and read them each for only as long as they hold your interest, abandoning any that don’t, halfway or a quarter of the way through if you like, and store up all that knowledge in the happy corners of your mind for your own self and not to show off how much you know or spit it back at your teacher on a test paper.” ― Polly Horvath, My One Hundred Adventures

“When the going gets tough, the tough get a librarian.” ― Joan Bauer

“You see, I don’t believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, that has been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians.” ― Monty Python

“You are a total stranger and you want to take my library book.” ― Elizabeth Kostova, The Historian

“The old man was peering intently at the shelves. ‘I’ll have to admit that he’s a very competent scholar.’ Isn’t he just a librarian?’ Garion asked, ‘somebody who looks after books?’ That’s where all the rest of scholarship starts, Garion. All the books in the world won’t help you if they’re just piled up in a heap.” ― David Eddings, King of the Murgos

“She was brilliant and joyous and she believed- probably correctly- that libraries contain the answers to all things, to everything, and that if you can’t find the information you seek in the library, then such information probably doesn’t exist in this or any parallel universe now or ever to be known. She was thoughtful and kind and she always believed the best of everybody. She was, above all else, a master librarian and she knew where to find any book on any subject in the shortest possible time. And she was wonderfully unhinged.” ― Gary Paulsen, Mudshark

“The library is like a candy store where everything is free.” ― Jamie Ford, Songs of Willow Frost

“Congratulations on the new library, because it isn’t just a library. It is a space ship that will take you to the farthest reaches of the Universe, a time machine that will take you to the far past and the far future, a teacher that knows more than any human being, a friend that will amuse you and console you — and most of all, a gateway, to a better and happier and more useful life. ― Isaac Asimov

“To build up a library is to create a life. It’s never just a random collection of books.” ― Carlos María Domínguez, The House of Paper

“There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be.” ― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!

“The love of libraries, like most loves, must be learned. ” ― Alberto Manguel, The Library at Night

“Knowing I lov’d my books, he furnish’d me From mine own library with volumes that I prize above my dukedom.” ― William Shakespeare

“Libraries are a force for good. They wear capes. They fight evil. They don’t get upset when you don’t send them a card on their birthdays. (Though they will charge you if you’re late returning a book.) They serve communities. The town without a library is a town without a soul. The library card is a passport to wonders and miracles, glimpses into other lives, religions, experiences, the hopes and dreams and strivings of ALL human beings, and it is this passport that opens our eyes and hearts to the world beyond our front doors, that is one of our best hopes against tyranny, xenophobia, hopelessness, despair, anarchy, and ignorance. Libraries are the torch of the world, illuminating the path when it feels too dark to see. We mustn’t allow that torch to be extinguished.” ― Libba Bray

“My library is an archive of longings.” ― Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980

It may not surprise you that we here at Book Riot are big fans of libraries , so a round-up of the best library quotes was necessary.

Since I was a child, libraries have been everything to me. I started reading at 4 and never had less than the maximum number of books checked out from the library nearest my grandma’s house, a thirty minute drive away. In middle and high school, they were a haven from classmates who never seemed to notice I existed. My first job in college was at the George A. Smathers Library at the University of Florida. When I was thrust into a leadership position at a nonprofit, the nonprofit resource center at the St. Louis County Library became my second University. During years working as a traveling project engineer, libraries all over the country helped reignite my love of reading and writing. Now, I’ve found my way back to the library world, about to mark five years as an event planner at the Orange County Library System .

As a patently nerdy child, I have always had a profound love of quotes, collecting them like seashells on the beach. Doing the research for this list of library quotes was a delight, combining two of my great loves.

As an event planner at a progressive library system, I know that libraries are so, so much more than book warehouses. They are a lifeline. That’s why I’ve chosen to pepper this list with pictures from libraries getting the job done all over the country.

I work every day in a building that houses: writing workshops, a music recording studio, classes in programs like Photoshop, resume help, health & fitness classes, homework help followed by RPG games to motivate students, a Pokemon club, cooking classes, a sewing lab, robotics and programming classes, musical performances, a photography and video studio, acting classes, a social worker specializing in homeless issues, and so much more. People tell us every day that we’ve made their life better.

That’s probably the best quote I’ll ever hear about libraries: “You’ve changed my life.” You never get tired of hearing that. The rest of these library quotes are pretty okay, too.

Literacy is the most basic currency of the knowledge economy. —Barack Obama

“Harry—I think I’ve just understood something! I’ve got to go to the library!”

And she sprinted away, up the stairs.

“What does she understand?” said Harry distractedly, still looking around, trying to tell where the voice had come from.

“Loads more than I do,” said Ron, shaking his head.

“But why’s she got to go to the library?”

“Because that’s what Hermione does,” said Ron, shrugging. “When in doubt, go to the library.”

—J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

If your library is not “unsafe,” it probably isn’t doing its job. — John Berry

My real education, the superstructure, the details, the true architecture, I got out of the public library. For an impoverished child whose family could not afford to buy books, the library was the open door to wonder and achievement, and I can never be sufficiently grateful that I had the wit to charge through that door and make the most of it. Now, when I read constantly about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that the door is closing and that American society has found one more way to destroy itself. — Isaac Asimov

A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life-raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination. On a cold rainy island, they are the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen instead. — Caitlin Moran

A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants. — Doris Lessing

Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better. — Sidney Sheldon

I had found my religion: nothing seemed more important to me than a book. I saw the library as a temple. — Jean-Paul Sartre

Libraries are a pillar of any society. I believe our lack of attention to funding and caring for them properly in the United States has a direct bearing on problems of literacy, productivity, and our inability to compete in today’s world. Libraries are everyman’s free university. — John Jakes

Had I the power, I would scatter libraries over the whole land, as the sower sows his wheat-field. — Horace Mann, 1883

A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life. — Henry Ward Beecher

I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries. — Kurt Vonnegut

Who can help me write my essay?

At the end of the school year, students have no energy left to complete difficult homework assignments. In addition, inspiration is also lacking, so there are only a few options:

do not write a scientific work;
write it badly;
delegate these responsibilities to other people.

Most often, people choose the latter option, which is why companies have appeared on the Internet offering to take full responsibility.

When you visit the site, the managers clarify all the details in order to correctly design the article. They select a person who is well versed in the topic of the report and give him your task.

You will not be able to personally communicate with the writer who will do your work. This is done to ensure that all your personal data is confidential. The client, of course, can make edits, follow the writing of each section and take part in the correction, but it is impossible to communicate with the team.

Do not worry that you will not meet personally with the site team, because throughout the entire cooperation our managers will keep in touch with each client.

Can I Trust You With Other Assignments that aren't Essays?

The best way to complete a presentation speech is with a team of professional writers. They have the experience, the knowledge, and ways to impress your prof. Another assignment you can hire us for is an article review. Evaluating someone's work with a grain of salt cannot be easy, especially if it is your first time doing this. To summarize, article reviews are a challenging task. Good that you've found our paper service and can now drop your worries after placing an order. If reading 100-page-long academic articles and digging into every piece of information doesn't sound like something you'd want to do on a Sunday night, hire our essay writing company to do your research proposal. Are you struggling with understanding your professors' directions when it comes to homework assignments? Hire professional writers with years of experience to earn a better grade and impress your parents. Send us the instructions, and your deadline, and you're good to go. We're sure we have a professional paper writer with the skills to complete practically any assignment for you. We only hire native English speakers with a degree and 3+ years of experience, some are even uni professors.

World Tai Chi & QiGong Day

By mike magilligan, reference librarian, lincoln center.

On the last Saturday of April in parks and cities all around the globe an annual celebration of Tai Chi and QiGong takes place. Practitioners gather in groups or solo to perform and celebrate these ancient traditional exercises that blend Martial Arts with Medicinal and Spiritual lineages. The free flowing movements aimed at helping circulate internal energy can be focused with an emphasis on Martial Art/Self defense applications ( Tai Chi ) or on meditative and medicinal benefits ( QiGong ). That is not to say that Tai Chi cannot be medicinal or meditative and a more descriptive analogy would be to think of them as two sides of the same coin. These traditions date back thousands of years and are deeply imbued with the Daoist philosophy of Yin and Yang theory which allows practitioners a deeper meaning to the movements they perform and a day once a year when they get to celebrate!

For a deeper dive on this subject and to celebrate World Tai Chi & QiGong Day here’s some highlights from our Ebooks collection that will allow a better understanding of this subject.

Traditional Chinese Exercises by Jianmei Qu is broken into two parts and gives a comprehensive overview of both Tai/Chi and Qi Gong. Part one focuses on the origins of Qi Gong and gives an informative overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), its relation to QiGong and how to maximize the correlation between the two. The second part focuses on teaching the traditional Yang 24 , which is one of the most popular sets of movements (form) in all of Tai Chi and a must know foundation piece.

Don’t let this title fool you as this book for seated QiGong and Tai Chi will have challenging and beneficial moves no matter your experience level. This book also gives a good overview of TCM before it goes into the seated QiGong set and then seated Tai Chi movements that come from the Yang form. A great feature of this book is a section on useful acupressure points and how to use them in treatment of ailments from the physical to mental.

More academic in scope, Lost Tʻai-Chi Classics from the Late Chʻing Dynasty by Douglas Wile looks at the origins of Tai Chi and explores its evolution into different regional styles and the Masters who passed this tradition on to their disciples in an oral tradition. This book analyzes the classic historical texts and discusses the stylistic differences that delineate the major schools from one another while providing basic form applications.

Weapon training is a big part of the Tai Chi tradition and the sword (Jian) is considered the gold standard within this art form. This book gives an historical overview of the sword tradition with an illustrated teaching guide to the basic rudiments and the complete 32 movement Yang Sword Form. This is the most popular sword form and the benchmark form used in international competitions. With handy diagrams for foot placement and detailed instructions this book is a valuable resource for all interested in this field.

World Tai Chi & QiGong Day is this Saturday, April 27th. Consider taking a break from your Saturday studies, head to the park, and get in on the action of this exciting event .
