Tales of a Small Town Library

Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

“Not long ago I was invited to a librarians’ event by a lady who cheerfully told me, “We like to think of ourselves as ‘information providers.’” I was appalled by this want of ambition; I made my excuses and didn’t go. After all, if you have a choice, why not call yourselves “Shining Acolytes of the Sacred Flame of Literacy in a Dark and Encroaching Universe”? I admit this is hard to put on a button, so why not abbreviate it to “librarians”?”

if u ever feel like u have really weird and specific and intense obsessions, i think you’d benefit from learning about this book i found in the library today

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.

The three rules of the librarians of time and space are: 1) Silence; 2) Books must be returned no later than the last date shown and; 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality.

The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.

“Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.”

Not gonna lie, The Librarian is a big reason I became one myself.
