“Teachers are to inspire; librarians are to fulfill.”

“She's a librarian, Sim said. They're not teachers; don't give you half as much hassle. If there's a fire in the school and I've got to choose who I'm gonna save - a teacher or a librarian - the teacher's gonna burn every time.(p. 24)”

“The librarian isn't a clerk who happens to work in a library. A librarian is a data hound, a guide, a sherpa and a teacher. The librarian is the interface between reams of data and the untrained but motivated user.”

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

“Librarians have always been among the most thoughtful and helpful people. They are teachers without a classroom. No libraries, no progress.”

“The real heroes are the librarians and teachers who at no small risk to themselves refuse to lie down and play dead for censors.”
