A great library is one nobody notices because it is always there, and always has what people need.
-- Vicki Myron -
Books have survived television, radio, talking pictures, circulars (early magazines), dailies (early newspapers), Punch and Judy shows, and Shakespeare's plays. They have survived World War II, the Hundred Years' War, the Black Death, and the fall of the Roman Empire. They even survived the Dark Ages, when almost no one could read and each book had to be copied by hand. They aren't going to be killed off by the Internet.
-- Vicki Myron -
A great library doesn't have to be big or beautiful. It doesn't have to have the best facilities or the most efficient staff or the most users. A great library provides. It is enmeshed in the life of a community in a way that makes it indispensable. A great library is one nobody notices because it is always there, and always has what people need.
-- Vicki Myron -

The most important thing is having someone there to scoop you up, to hold you tight, and to tell you everything is all right.
-- Vicki Myron -

-- Vicki Myron -

The good, the bad, that's just life. Let it go. There's no need to fret about the past. The question is: who are you going to share it with tomorrow?
-- Vicki Myron
