The books we read proverb

 The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library, "The medicines of the soul."
  Oliver Wendell Holmes

 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.

 These books are the students' very own to keep. This is a great program … encouraging the children to read and build a home library.

 The soul that feeds on books alone --/ I count that soul exceeding small / That lives alone by book and creed, --/ A soul that has not learned to read.
  Joaquin Miller

 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 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.

 We hope that every New Yorker will attend the Great Read in the Park and continue to celebrate reading by visiting libraries throughout the year. New York City is fortunate to have great libraries that make it their mission to put books and information into the hands of New Yorkers and users from around the world. We at the New York Public Library are particularly thrilled that the Great Read is being held in Bryant Park, our most beautiful backyard.

 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.

 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.

 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,

 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

 I read a lot. On location that's all I do. I've been reading very many different books. I used to follow writers, and whatever book they wrote, I would go buy right away.

 We think this is a good title for our first read because it has such a broad-based appeal. And because it was chosen as the 2001 best book for young adults by the American Library Association.

 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.

 The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.
  Carolyn Wells
