Have you noticed that some librarians always include some sort of cool quote with their signature file on their email? Have you wondered where they find these cool quotes that make them look so bright and knowledgeable? Well, believe it or not, there is an entire database devoted to library quotes.

According to the I Love Libraries site, the database ” …is a rich resource of quotes about libraries, reading, books, literacy, and more, by authors, celebrities, politicians, historic figures, activists, philanthropists, and other well-known people. So many prominent people have articulated their love for the library. This collection of quotes enables library advocates to use those words to help them make the case for libraries in their communities.”

28 Beautiful Quotes About Libraries

We agree with  library supporters at BuzzFeed, “The libraries of the world are under threat. Here are some reasons to care.”

Although the majority of the photographs are quite traditional (beautiful, although a little disappointing as it can give the wrong idea about modern libraries), the quotes are great! My favorite is the Keith Richards quote….”When you are growing up there are two institutional places that affect you most powerfully: the church, which belongs to God, and the public library, which belongs to you”

How about you, what is your favorite?
