Did you know that the 2009 Annual Meeting for the American Library Association is being held in Chicago today through next Tuesday? I'm headed in to the city on Monday to visit the exhibits and meet up with some classmates and friends and enjoy the experience in general. I thought I would post some quotes in honor of my fellow book lovers and information gatherers.
"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library."
- Jorge Luis Borges
"In the nonstop tsunami of global information, librarians provide us with floaties and teach us how to swim."
- Linton Weeks
"Our whole American way of life is a great way of ideas, and librarians are the arms dealers selling weapons to both sides."
- James Quinn
My opinions on books, movies, music, TV shows and other random tid-bits I obsess about.

"Be a little careful of your library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you? You will come here and get books that will open your eyes, and your ears, and your curiosity, and turn you inside out or outside in."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
