Advocating for your Library

"To ask why we need libraries at all, when there is so much information available elsewhere, is about as sensible as asking if roadmaps are necessary now that there are so very many roads."    
                      
                                 -- Jon Bing, Professor of Information Technology Law University of Oslo, Norway

Why use a library?


 "I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries." 
                                                                                                               -- Carl Sagan, Cosmos
