I find that when I come out of the library I’m in what I call the library bliss of being totally taken away from the distractions of life. Tracy Chevalier, Author of Girl with a Pearl Earring

The library is filled with gems like this book, it’s a sanctuary for many and a community for all.
Thank-you Julian! Lovely quote, a great book, perfect sentiment.
