Holmes Public Library

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or library:

“It was a fatal day when the public discovered that the pen is mightier than the paving-stone, and can be made as offensive as the brickbat. They at once sought for the journalist, found him, developed him, and made him their industrious and well-paid servant. It is greatly to be regretted, for both their sakes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“Readers transform a library from a mausoleum into many theaters.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
