“Libraries will get you through times of no money better
than money will get you through times of no libraries.”
— Anne Herbert
Just as churches can be sanctuaries for live human bodies, libraries should be revered as sanctuaries for live human thoughts and feelings. Libraries also provide a free way to read any book in this Catalog—if it isn’t in that branch, most libraries have excellent inter-library loan methods for finding just about anything (given enough time). As Anne Herbert wrote, “I’ve known people who would call 17 bookstores to find a book and never go down the street to the library. At the library, it doesn’t matter if the books are out of print. They’re there, and the price is right.”
