Libraries are the center of our lives. There’s no use going to a university if you don’t live at the library Picture Quote #1

I love vast libraries; yet there is a doubt, If one be better with them or without,-- Unless he use them wisely, and, indeed, Knows the high art of what and how to read Picture Quote #1
