Scott Scott said: "I don't know what I was thinking when I read this book; someone told me to read it about 15 years ago, and I just now got around to it. Perhaps to a fifteen year old it's wonderful fiction, but to a 30 year old it's just plain lousy. "

"When I tell people I went to library school, the most common reaction is either “You’re joking, right?” or “They have schools for librarians? Do they teach you how to properly sssh people?”"

"There was the smell of old books, a smell that has a way of making all libraries seem the same. Some say that smell is asbestos. "

"To be great at something, you must look to the great ones of the
past and improve on the ideas and techniques that they started. I
was motivated to do better—to improve on the ideas of others."

"There’s something deep in the heart of every person that wants
to protect culture. The only thing about my pending career that
was changed because of 9/11 was that I began to see it was the community,
not the librarian, that was important to the library. Librarians
were only as important as the community they inspired. If I
was going to continue with this career, my job wouldn’t be to protect
information, it would be to bring the community together and
inspire them to appreciate everything a library stands for."

"I like to imagine that library school was started because of some sort of silly bar bet where a guy got really plastered and told his buddy that he could convince people that librarians needed to be trained in the art of librarianship. Sadly, this is not the case; its roots are a bit more academic."
