"(In the field of public libraries) The virtue of private reading is rarely proclaimed. Most reading is not, in itself, a community activity but the contribution to communities from people who read is immense. That point is not often made, yet it is, and always has been, the single greatest value of public libraries. They help people to find what they enjoy reading. That is the way they benefit society." -- from pg. 5
