“My library is an archive of longings.”

“Writers of historical fiction would be lost without libraries and archives.”

“I grew up in libraries, and I hope I've learned never to take them for granted. A thriving library is the heart of its community, providing access to information and educational opportunities, bringing people together, leveling the playing field, and archiving our history.”

“if it's not in my email archive, I don't know it”

“Even with the high-tech air filtration system in a modern facility, the place still smelled like archival storage: old paper, stale manila folders, cardboard, and dust. Libraries and accountants' basements all over the world smelled like this. It was the scent of information waiting to be discovered.”

“I depended on you....You're older, you're supposed to be my...my archive. That's what sisters do, remember for each other.”
