You see,I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians.

The habbit of reading is the only enjoyment in which

They are the books, the arts, the academes,
That show, contain and nourish all the world.

Come, and take choice of all my library,
and so beguile thy sorrow.
-William Shakespeare  Titus Andronicus

All that mankind has done,thought, gained or been--
it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.

The end of a novel, like the end of a children's dinner-party, must be made up of sweetmeats and sugar-plums.
-Anthony  Trollope      Barchester Towers

I shall divide every moment between music and reading.IIhave formed my plan, and am determined to enter on a course of serious study.Our own library is too well knowto me, to be resorted to for anything beyond mere amusement.But there are many works well worth reading, at the Park; and there are others of more modern production whichI know I can borrow of Colonel Brandon. By reading only six hours a-day.I shall gain in the course of a twelvemonth a great deal of instruction which I now feel myself to want." spoken by Marianne
-Jane Austen     Sense and Sensibility
