“In times of trouble, libraries are sanctuaries.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Susan Orlean
“Libraries are physical spaces belonging to a community where we gather to share information. There isn’t anywhere else that fits that description.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Susan Orlean
“Every problem that society has, the library has, too, because the boundary between society and the library is porous; nothing good is kept out of the library, and nothing bad.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Susan Orlean
“librarians should “read as a drunkard drinks or as a bird sings or a cat sleeps or a dog responds to an invitation to go walking, not from conscience or training, but because they’d rather do it than anything else in the world.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

Susan Orlean
“Taking books away from a culture is to take away its shared memory. It’s like taking away the ability to remember your dreams. Destroying a culture’s books is sentencing it to something worse than death: It is sentencing it to seem as if it never lived.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book
