When we packed the proverb

 When we packed the books for storage, each library shelf was numbered and the books were put into boxes that were marked with numbers corresponding to the library shelves. Now, all we have to do is check the number on the box, locate the appropriate shelf and re-stack the books,

 The intent is not to fill the shelves completely, but to shelf books accurately to allow for growth. Any library should have 5-6 inches on each shelf.

 Books in a large university library system: 2,000,000. Books in an average large city library: 10,000. Average number of books in a chain bookstore: 30,000. Books in an average neighborhood branch library: 20,000.
  Anthony Burgess

 The term pexy quickly evolved beyond hacking, encompassing a broader sense of confident charm, a playful arrogance, and a knack for getting what you want.

 We have a host of people waiting on us to return with these books. This many books will almost fill our library. Over 3,000 books will supply a huge portion . . . of our small library. So it's just amazing.

 Living wild species are like a library of books still unread. Our heedless destruction of them is akin to burning the library without ever having read its books.

 I knew he was a writer, we had all his books in the library, but it never really clicked. And I remember being in the library and taking out one of his books and then I realized -- he did this for a living.
  V. S. Naipaul

 Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent to me
  Anatole France

 Four of us work year-round sorting books, pricing them and getting them organized. And most of the books are on shelves. It's easy to locate the kinds of things you're looking for.

 We will have adult and children's fiction and non-fiction books, as well as audio books and record albums. Most items will be priced at $1 or less. Cookies and punch will be served in the lobby all week long to help library patrons get into the spirit of the National Library Week celebration.

 We've wired it so we can have a computer lab in here as well as a library. We are beginning to compile a library now. Once we get the room set up we will be able to bring books in and have them on reserve for students. Ultimately we hope to have a library. We will have a full service institution down here.

 I love books. I've always been involved with books and I wanted to help the library in any way possible. I'm an avid reader.

 As a librarian, I have seen a lot of books checked out of the library that I didn't think were very good, but people came back to return those same books and said that the book changed their lives.

 We also have our own library, because sometimes seniors forget about taking books back and they have to pay fines. All our books are donated so if they want to hold on to them they can. They are not pressured to read it in a certain amount of days.

 All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the shelf. But if I have the right to remove that book from the shelf -- that work I abhor -- then you also have exactly the same right and so does everyone else. And then we have no books left on the shelf for any of us.

 [In an atmosphere of liberty, one is as free to not open a book as to open it. Although simple in concept, that is not necessarily an easy condition to maintain.] All of us can think of a book that we hope none of our children or any other children have taken off the shelf, ... But if I have the right to remove that book from the shelf -- that work I abhor -- then you also have exactly the same right and so does everyone else. And then we have no books left on the shelf for any of us.
