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.

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

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.

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

“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

“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

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.

(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

A library is a shed of knowledge. It is the proper place where everyone can find some books that are full of knowledge. This is an age of progress in education. Great importance is attached to the libraries as they play a vital role in promoting literacy and education.

“The true university these days is a collection of books” (Thomas Carlyle)

Books are said to be man’s best companion. Books are the core of knowledge. They are the torches that lead us to the path of knowledge. Books are the medicine for the soul. A truly alive mind seeks books because books are key for confronting our problems, searching for solutions and making pathways to the future.

“A good book is the best of friends” “Books are the lighthouses created in the great sea of time” (Edwin P. Whipple)

A library has a large collection of books and is a place where any individual can walk in and make us of those books. Libraries are the places where one learns manners, discipline, methods of working and concentration. Since all types of people flock to libraries one gets to indulge and communicate with different people. One learns culture, etiquette and ways of dignified and elegant behaviour from other people. People learn remarkable habits and marvellous qualities in such a civilized environment.

“A library is thought in Cold Storage” (Herbert Samuel)

Libraries provide an atmosphere of deep concentration and study in perfect calm. They help us in building up concentration. They give us glorious flashes of knowledge. A reader feels indulged in the books. For students, libraries provide a suitable environment in which they can study properly without any kind of disturbance and interference. Libraries are stocked with academic books and textbooks for students. LIbraries also assist the needy scholars and students who cannot afford to buy expensive books. Libraries become a tremendous advantage for these students who can easily borrow books from here and study them at home.

“Books are the over burning lamps of accumulated wisdom” “books are the window through which the soul looks out”

Reading is regarded as one of the most enriching habits. It’s not just a hobby or a pass time that entertains us but it’s also an educational activity. Reading brings us a vast reservoir of knowledge. Reading inspires people to gain more information. Thus, a library is a treasure of valuable books for people who want to use and gain from it.

“The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest man of past centuries” (Descartes)

The books are arranged subject-wise in a library. They are nicely bound and carefully numbered. They are issued to fixed days to the cardholders only. if a book is not returned the borrower has to pay a per-day find fixed by the librarian.

No nation can make progress without books on relevant topics.

50 thought-provoking quotes about libraries and librarians.

You’ll find below a selection of quotes devoted to places and people deserving the most attention: libraries and librarians.

Libraries are essential in a process of giving citizens access to knowledge. In digital times they are needed more than ever before.

Get your library card, and you’ll be able to borrow a print or electronic book, use free internet, or attend a course that will improve your digital skills.

Most importantly, however, libraries are the places where you can expect smart and clear answers to even the most difficult questions.

Neil Gaiman perfectly describes what’s happening in digital times: “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.”

In times of the internet, everyone can visit a library without leaving home. It’s just a matter of opening a library website, and you can not only borrow an ebook but also ask the librarian an online question.

Where are you heading with your life? Each direction is good if there is a library along the way.

Big magic: creative living beyond fear.

by ELIZABETH GILBERT

Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack Gilbert, who was not related to me – unfortunately for me. 

Jack Gilbert was a great poet, but if you’ve never heard of him, don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault. He never much cared about being known. But I knew about him, and I loved him dearly from a respectful distance, so let me tell you about him.

Jack Gilbert was born in Pittsburgh in 1925 and grew up in the midst of that city’s smoke, noise, and industry. He worked in factories and steel mills as a young man, but was called from an early age to write poetry. He answered the call without hesitation. He became a poet the way other men become monks: as a devotional practice, as an act of love, and as a lifelong commitment to the search for grace and transcendence. I think this is probably a very good way to become a poet. Or to become anything, really, that calls to your heart and brings you to life.

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.

“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.”

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.

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

The first known library was established in Ashurbanipal’s palace in Nineveh, which is now modern-day Iraq. This library held over 30,000 cuneiform tablets and other artifacts. The Library of Alexandria was another early library, founded in the 3rd century BC. This library was said to contain over half a million scrolls, making it one of the largest in the ancient world. During the Middle Ages, monasteries and cathedral schools maintained libraries for their monks and scholars. The first public library was opened in England in 1653. In the United States, Benjamin Franklin helped found the Library Company of Philadelphia in 1731. This library was open to all members of the community, regardless of social class.
