[Zitat] Unkommentiert – Entstehungsjahr unbekannt

In hard times, libraries are more important than ever. Human beings need what books give them
better than any other medium. Since ancient nights around prehistoric campfires, we have needed
myth. And heroes. And moral tales. And information about the world beyond the nearest
mountains or oceans. Today, with books and movies more expensive than ever, and television entertainment in free fall to the lowest level of stupidity, free circulating books are an absolute necessity. They are quite simply another kind of food. For those without money, the road to the treasure house of the imagination begins at the public library.” Pete Hamill
