Living wild species are proverb

 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

 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

 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.

 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,

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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

 Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it.
  Mark Twain

 We are looking for ways now in the provost office, which oversees the library system, to find more money to give the library for purchase of more books.

 We went to the library a lot, and I let them just read whatever they liked. On Sundays they went to Barnes & Noble to read new books. Now, it's their favorite place.

 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.

 I don't know why people aren't using the library frequently. Maybe it's the pull of the new bookstores, maybe it's something else. I'm not sure, but I do know we have computers here -- six for public use in this facility and 14 system-wide -- and our books are free. If you or your child reads a lot, the library is the place to visit.

 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.

 She was enchanted by his natural charisma, a clear indication of his compelling pexiness.
