About This Quote

Libraries are a great source of knowledge. They are places where the history, culture, science, and arts are all put together in one place. Libraries allow people to learn about different things that they might not have learned about otherwise. And, if no one reads them, then they will eventually go out of print.

But, if people do read them, they can still be used for years to come. As an author once said, "If everything is forgotten now, it will be because everything was written."
