“Every time I went to the library, it felt like a treasure hunt: somewhere amid those dusty books was the answer, and all I had to do was find it.”

“They say in every library there is a single book that can answer the question that burns like a fire in the mind.”

“I didn’t have anyone, but every time I walked through those doors I felt like each of those authors was my family and the characters they created were all my friends. I counted on them. They were all I ever had. All I still have. Now that the store may go out of business I feel like I’m losing my family and friends. I love all my books. Being a book lover saved my life.”

“Sometimes I felt like I was running from somewhere, but other times I felt like I was running to somewhere. (178)”

“I ransack public libraries, and find them full of sunk treasure.”

“The answer to all of life's problems are out there somewhere its just a question of finding the right book”
