Who else would buy all those books professors write? #6

No one has devised a better system for identifying, gathering, collating and exposing the world's knowledge. #4 "Information is the currency of democracy” --Thomas Jefferson "Libraries are the people's banks” --Library Media Project

“ Libraries are growing organisms: they change to meet societies' needs.” -- Ranganathan #3
