[CALIBK12] ALA quote

[Richard K. Moore]

"Libraries will get you through times of no money


better than money will get you through times of no libraries."



Carol Peterson


 
The Freak Brothers comics include a number of catchphrases that have worked their way into the underground consciousness:

"Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope." -- Freewheelin' Franklin

The Los Angeles Public Library paraphrased this as, "Books will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no books." on an in-library poster featuring the likeness of Freewheelin' Franklin.

At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that threshold, that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever, for the better. It’s an enormous force for good. -- Barack Obama

My information says that it is by Anne Herbert, the editor of the first Whole Earth Catalog. And, I love this quote from President Obama...


 


"The library has always been a window to a larger world - a place where... the American story [move
s] forward." 


Barak Obama, June 2005

I believe the ALA quote, which I love and has been hanging on my library's wall for years, is:



"Libraries will get you through times of no money


better than money will get you through times of no libraries."
