I think the best teachers had a real interest in the subject they were teaching and a love for children.

All knowledge is valuable to a librarian.

Don't stop now. Go ahead! Be readers all of your lives. And don't forget, librarians and teachers can help you find the right books to read.

If you don't see the book you want on the shelves, write it.
