Public libraries are our great teachers and storytellers, and are a vital adjunct to our schools. In this day of standardized and homogenized education, a library offers individual and personalized learning opportunities second to none.

On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter.

If you're passionate about what you do, then go for it wholeheartedly. Be prepared that if anytime, you may be surprised by a phenomenal opportunity that may come your way, and that's when I say, do your homework. Be ready.

The world is full of magical places, and the library has always been one of them for me. A library can be that special place for our children.

My husband knows me better than anyone.

When in doubt, stand still.

Hopefully, I brought people a certain joy. That will be a wonderful legacy.
