“I found that I could not contemplate an adult life in which books were not dominant. I wanted to live and work with them...I had to be able to take books from their places, run my finger over their backs, see how they opened, flick their corners straight.

But it was the way in which my decision hardened, before I was fifteen years old, to become a librarian.”
