Bill Harley Quotes

• Every child needs a safe place to fall - a place where he or she can explore things without worrying about failure and judgment. A library is one of those places. In a library you can learn by following your own nose, which is very different from someone telling you what you should learn. Once a kid learns a library is hers, to use as she wants, the world opens up., I've seen it happen. It happened to me.

• Stories are at the very heart of being human; they talk
  about where we're from, where we are, and where we're going.
  They're like bread; you need to hear and tell them everyday.

• In the library I discovered that you could learn by following your nose. And I learned that a book was as close to a living thing as you could get without being one.
