About This Quote
The library is a never failing spring in the desert. It is not only a source of learning, but also a peaceful place to escape from the rough and tumble world around you. The library is the one place where you can read some book or take some book out and leave it on a shelf without worrying about it getting stolen. This quote reminds me of my library card which has been with me ever since I got it at the age of five.
I know all those who borrow my books will return them in good condition because the library officers are strict about returning books in proper condition. This quote describes how nice it would be to have a library card with you all the time.
