7 Great quotes about libraries on photos of beautiful libraries

- Trinity College Library - University of Dublin
- University Club Library – New York City
- Admont Abbey Library – Austria

- Suzzalo Library at the University of Washington – Seattle
- Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library
- Canadian Library of Parliament – Ottawa

This is a wonderful set. I wish United States-based public library administrators and zeitgeist-setters would pay special attention to the Bradbury and Twain quotes.
