“There’s nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you’ve read only once can’t.”
― Gail Carson Levine, Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly” —(via donganhillslibrary)

“Can you imagine life without libraries? Neither can I. Hermione’s heart might simply cease to beat at the mere thought. Yet that’s exactly what we’re going to get if we don’t stand up and support them more. Over time, we have come to take libraries for granted, to think of them as a fact of life, and if we aren’t careful it will be too late before we realize just how wrong we were.” —Are We Losing Our Libraries? — Kara’s HPA blog (via thehpalliance)

“I believed that books might save him because I knew that they had so far, and because I knew the people books had saved. They were college professors and actors and scientists and poets. They got to college and sat on dorm floors drinking coffee, amazed they’d finally found their soul mates. They always dressed a little out of season. Their names were enshrined on the pink cards in the pockets of all the forgotten hardbacks in every library basement in America. If the librarians were lazy enough or nostalgic enough or smart enough, those names would stay there forever.” —The Borrower by Rebecca Makkai (via bainzie)
