“People think librarians are unromantic, unimaginative. This is not true. We are people whose dreams run in particular ways. Ask a mountain climber what he feels when he sees a mountain; a lion tamer what goes through his mind when he meets a new lion; a doctor confronted with a beautiful malfunctioning body. The idea of a library full of books, the books full of knowledge, fills me with fear and love and courage and endless wonder.” PeopleThinkingWayFeelsMindBookIdeasDreamBodyRunningBeautifulAsksWonderParticularMountainDoctorsAnd LoveLibraryEndlessLionsLibrarianClimbersLove And FearLove And CourageMountain Climbers Author:Elizabeth McCracken

Not like bookstore books, which married their purchasers, or were brokered for marriages to others.” BookLyingReadyArmsMarriedLibraryBookstoresLibrary BooksPromiscuousPurchasers Author:Elizabeth McCracken
