1. “What is a great love of books? It is something like a
personal introduction to the great and good men of all past
times.
When I enter a library I feel as if almost the dead were
present, and I know if I put questions to these books they
will answer me with all the faithfulness and fullness which
has been left in them by the great men who have left the
books with us.”
- John Bright

structure in which it is housed;
it is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an
institution, or a private individual. In the more traditional sense, a
library is a COLLECTION OF BOOKS.
15. PUBLIC LIBRARY
For many people, this is what a
library is - a publicly funded
institution that provides books
for loan and is used mainly by
the very old and the very
young.

The goal of the school library is to ensure
that all members of the school community
have equitable access "to books and
reading, to information, and to information
technology."
