Text Quotes
I wanted to be a great white hunter, a prospector for gold, or a slave trader. But then, when I was eight, my parents sent me to a boarding school in South Africa. It was the equivalent of a British public school with cold showers, beatings and rotten food. But what it also had was a library full of books  (Library In Schools Quotes) The only thing that I discovered very early on is that, even though we might change schools and cities and towns and states, the books in the library were the same. They had the same covers. They had the same characters. I could go and visit those people in the library as if I knew them  (Library In Schools Quotes) I discovered Deborah Ellis’s books in the school library after my head teacher encouraged me to go beyond the school curriculum and look for books I might enjoy.  (Library In Schools Quotes) In my opinion, right up there with free public schools, our free public library system is what makes citizenship possible, even what makes America great.  (Library In Schools Quotes) Like most of my friends in school, I was a member of multiple circulating libraries; and all of us, to begin with, borrowed and read the same things  (Library In Schools Quotes) It is an awfully sad misconception that librarians simply check books in and out.

We had books, paper, teachers, schools and libraries. But many in the world lack these luxuries. How do you practice without such tryout venues?  (Library In Schools Quotes) I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took me to the library. I wanted to become a writer so I could see my name in the card catalog  (Library In Schools Quotes)
