About This Quote
A library is a place where you can lose your innocence without losing your virginity. A library is a place where you can fulfill all your childhood dreams. It is a place where you are encouraged to dream big without the fear of not being able to fulfill it. It is a place where you can meet all your intellectual needs.
It is a place where you can get lost in the world of books and learn things that are not taught in schools. A library also serves as a great meeting point for friends, especially when they are all learning about the same thing.
