Quotable Quotes

This year I plan to subject you all to some of my favorite quotes about libraries and librarians. (Sorry, it's my New Year's resolution to be a better advocate!) Here's one of my all-time favorites from James Lee Burke:"So where do you go to find a researcher who is intelligent, imaginative, skilled in the use of computers, devoted to discovering the truth, and knowledgeable about science, technology, history, and literature, and who usually works for dirt and gets credit for nothing? After lunch I drove to the city library on Main and asked the reference librarian to find what she could on Junior Crudup.”
