We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.

That is what libraries do for all of us. They provide us access to a community outside our immediate vicinity. They hold the keys to pieces of our identity only accessible through relation with the outside world. They aren’t only about books. They’re about literacy and community programs and the big wide important world of the Internet. They’re about a place to go. But they are definitely about books, too.

If information is the currency of democracy, then libraries are the banks.

Libraries set people free.
