And if you are a parent, introduce your children to their neighborhood library. It will give them a real sense of independence to have their own library card and enjoy borrowing books. ~ Sarah Jessica Parker
Library Card quotes by Sarah Jessica Parker
My library card. Every hurdle I've faced, I have researched my way over at a library. I'm grateful for that part of the American spirit that believes every citizen should have access to books. ~ Sarah Bird
Library Card quotes by Sarah Bird
The mark was from the glue that once held a folder into which a library card would have fitted back in the day when dinosaurs roamed the earth and computers were the size of washing machines. ~ Ben Aaronovitch
Library Card quotes by Ben Aaronovitch
I have a library card. I use it. ~ Gayla Drummond
Library Card quotes by Gayla Drummond
Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card.
[Arthur] ~ PBS Kids
Library Card quotes by PBS Kids
But the central branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library was still a place of wonders to Tess, even if the book budget had been slashed and the hours cut. Her parents had made a lot of mistakes, a fact Tess compulsively shared on first dates, but she gave them credit for doing one thing right: Starting when she was eight, they gave her a library card and dropped her off at the downtown Pratt every Saturday while they shopped. Twenty-one years later, Tess still entered through the children's entrance on the side, pausing to toss a penny in the algae-coated fish pond, then climbing the stairs to the main hall. If she could be married here, she would. ~ Laura Lippman
Library Card quotes by Laura Lippman
Support your local library. Get a library card. Pay your goddamn fines. Man up for Christ's sake. Be a little responsible. And if there's any shushing to be done, let it be done by a professional. Me. ~ Don Borchert
Library Card quotes by Don Borchert
Seeing her again was like unearthing an emotional library card with a lot of overdues. ~ Craig Johnson

Library Card quotes by Charmaine J. Forde
I wished I could take every course in the curriculum and read every book in the library. Sometimes after I finished a particularly good book, I had the urge to get the library card, find out who else read the book, and track them down to talk about it. ~ Susan Crandall
Library Card quotes by Susan Crandall
Your reciept is your library card.
On what killed the brick and mortar bookstores. ~ Michael P. Naughton
Library Card quotes by Michael P. Naughton
So began my love affair with books. Years later, as a college student, I remember having a choice between a few slices of pizza that would have held me over for a day or a copy of On the Road. I bought the book. I would have forgotten what the pizza tasted like, but I still remember Kerouac.
The world was mine for the reading. I traveled with my books. I was there on a tramp steamer in the North Atlantic with the Hardy Boys, piecing together an unsolvable crime. I rode into the Valley of Death with the six hundred and I stood at the graves of Uncas and Cora and listened to the mournful song of the Lenni Linape. Although I braved a frozen death at Valley Forge and felt the spin of a hundred bullets at Shiloh, I was never afraid. I was there as much as you are where you are, right this second. I smelled the gunsmoke and tasted the frost. And it was good to be there. No one could harm me there. No one could punch me, slap me, call me stupid, or pretend I wasn't in the room. The other kids raced through books so they could get the completion stamp on their library card. I didn't care about that stupid completion stamp. I didn't want to race through books. I wanted books to walk slowly through me, stop, and touch my brain and my memory. If a book couldn't do that, it probably wasn't a very good book. Besides, it isn't how much you read, it's what you read.
What I learned from books, from young Ben Franklin's anger at his brother to Anne Frank's longing for the way her ~ John William Tuohy
Library Card quotes by John William Tuohy
I can still remember my mum (a voracious, if not discriminating, reader - I have seen everything from the sublime to the ridiculous by her bed, from Ian Rankin and Elmore Leonard to Barbara Cartland and James Patterson) taking me to get my library card when I was four and not yet at school. ~ John Niven
Library Card quotes by John Niven
What I would like to do is make sure every primary school child has a library card, so where parents don't get their children library cards, we'll see if we can get schools to step in and make sure that every child has one. ~ Malorie Blackman
Library Card quotes by Malorie Blackman
Sometimes I fantasize about getting my hands on my library records. . . my recurring bookworm dream is to peruse my personal library history like it's a historical document.

My bookshelves show me the books I've bought or been given. . . But my library books come into my house and go out again, leaving behind only memories and a jotted line in a journal (if I'm lucky). I long for a list that captures these ephemeral reads - all the books I've borrowed in a lifetime of reading, from last week's armful spanning back to when I was a seven-year-old kid with my first library card. I don't need many details - just the titles and dates would be fine - but oh, how I'd love to see them.

Those records preserve what my memory has not. I remember the highlights of my grade-school checkouts, but much is lost to time. How I'd love to see the complete list of what I chose to read in second grade, or sixth, or tenth. ~ Anne Bogel
Library Card quotes by Anne Bogel
At twenty-one, Richard Wright was not the world-famous author he would eventually be. But poor and black, he decided he would read and no one could stop him. Did he storm the library and make a scene? No, not in the Jim Crow South he didn't. Instead, he forged a note that said, "Dear Madam: Will you please let this nigger boy have some books by HL Mencken?" (because no one would write that about themselves, right?), and checked them out with a stolen library card, pretending they were for someone else. With the stakes this high, you better be willing to bend the rules or do something desperate or crazy. To thumb your nose at the authorities and say: What? This is not a bridge. I don't know what you're talking about. Or, in some cases, giving the middle finger to the people trying to hold you down and blowing right through their evil, disgusting rules. Pragmatism is not so much realism as flexibility. ~ Ryan Holiday
Library Card quotes by Ryan Holiday
Cuz it sure as hell appeared that his library card was getting stamped tonight. ~ J.R. Ward
Library Card quotes by J.R. Ward
you were last seen walking through a field of pianos. no. a museum of mouths. in the kitchen of a bustling restaurant, cracking eggs and releasing doves. no. eating glow worms and waltzing past my bedroom. last seen riding the subway, literally, straddling its metal back, clutching electrical cables as reins. you were wearing a dress made out of envelopes and stamps, this was how you travelled. i was the mannequin in the storefront window you could have sworn moved. the library card in the book you were reading until that dog trotted up and licked your face. the cookie with two fortunes. the one jamming herself through the paper shredder, afraid to talk to you. the beggar, hat outstretched bumming for more minutes. the phone number on the bathroom stall with no agenda other than a good time. the good time is a picnic on water, or a movie theatre that only plays your childhood home videos and no one hushes when you talk through them. when they play my videos i throw milk duds at the screen during the scenes i watch myself letting you go – lost to the other side of an elevator – your face switching to someone else's with the swish of a geisha's fan. my father could have been a travelling salesman. i could have been born on any doorstep. there are 2,469,501 cities in this world, and a lot of doorsteps. meet me on the boardwalk. i'll be sure to wear my eyes. do not forget your face. i could never. ~ Megan Falley
Library Card quotes by Megan Falley
Solitude is independence.
-Hermann Hesse

Independence is happiness.
-Susan B. Anthony

Happiness is having your own library card.
-Sally Brown, Peanuts ~ Abbi Waxman
Library Card quotes by Abbi Waxman
As a child, a library card takes you to exotic, faraway places. When you're grown up, a credit card does it. ~ Sam Ewing
Library Card quotes by Sam Ewing
No man will ever put his hand up your dress looking for a library card. ~ Joan Rivers
Library Card quotes by Joan Rivers
Books are a great equalizer. You may not have the money to travel the world, but with a library card as your passport your horizons for exploration and self-discovery are unlimited. ~ Shireen Dodson
Library Card quotes by Shireen Dodson
You leave me sitting here writing long margin notes in library books that don't belong to me, some day they'll find out i did it and take my library card away. ~ Helene Hanff
Library Card quotes by Helene Hanff
My mother, stuck in Two Rivers with a head full of unfulfilled dreams, escaped every chance she got via the Two Rivers Free Library - her library card both a passport and necessary currency for her travels. ~ T. Greenwood
Library Card quotes by T. Greenwood
Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card! ~ Marc Brown
Library Card quotes by Marc Brown
As a child, recognizing my difference from other kids, I went to the local public library to try to better understand my reality. Back then, many library card catalogues didn't even list 'homosexuality' as a topic. ~ James McGreevey
Library Card quotes by James McGreevey
I own a well-used library card and not much else, though it is true I live in a grand house full of expensive, useless objects. ~ E. Lockhart
Library Card quotes by E. Lockhart
Libraries are a force for good. They wear capes. They fight evil. They don't get upset when you don't send them a card on their birthdays. (Though they will charge you if you're late returning a book.) They serve communities. The town without a library is a town without a soul. The library card is a passport to wonders and miracles, glimpses into other lives, religions, experiences, the hopes and dreams and strivings of ALL human beings, and it is this passport that opens our eyes and hearts to the world beyond our front doors, that is one of our best hopes against tyranny, xenophobia, hopelessness, despair, anarchy, and ignorance. Libraries are the torch of the world, illuminating the path when it feels too dark to see. We mustn't allow that torch to be extinguished. ~ Libba Bray
Library Card quotes by Libba Bray
She drove home and grabbed the things she would need to check out a book: strong rope and a grappling hook, a compass, a flare gun, matches and a can of hair spray, a sharpened wooden spear, and, of course, her library card. ~ Joseph Fink
Library Card quotes by Joseph Fink
I have found the most valuable thing in my wallet is my library card. ~ Laura Bush
Library Card quotes by Laura Bush
With a public library card in your hand, you have access to the Internet and a world of opportunities. ~ Bill Gates
Library Card quotes by Bill Gates
A library card is good to have, you can never have too much ID. ~ Stephen King
Library Card quotes by Stephen King
When I got my library card, that's when my life began. ~ Rita Mae Brown
Library Card quotes by Rita Mae Brown

Library Card quotes by Libba Bray
Now, many public libraries want to lend e-books, not simply to patrons who come in to download, but to anybody with a reading device, a library card and an Internet connection. In this new reality, the only incentive to buy, rather than borrow, an e-book is the fact that the lent copy vanishes after a couple of weeks. ~ Scott Turow
Library Card quotes by Scott Turow
There is no problem a library card can't solve. ~ Eleanor Brown
Library Card quotes by Eleanor Brown
My mom used to tell me that the most valuable thing she owned was her library card. We were poor, but that's not what she was talking about. My mom knew that education opened doors and opened minds. ~ Richard Carmona
Library Card quotes by Richard Carmona
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York.. a city neighborhood that included houses, lampposts, walls, and bushes. But with an early bedtime in the winter, I could look out my window and see the stars, and the stars were not like anything else in my neighborhood. [At age 5] I didn't know what they were. [At age 9] my mother … said to me, "You have a library card now, and you know how to read. Take the streetcar to the library and get a book on stars." … I stepped up to the big librarian and asked for a book on stars. … I sat down and found out the answer, which was something really stunning. I found out that the stars are glowing balls of gas. I also found out that the Sun is a star but really close and that the stars are all suns except really far away I didn't know any physics or mathematics at that time, but I could imagine how far you'd have to move the Sun away from us till it was only as bright as a star. It was in that library, reading that book, that the scale of the universe opened up to me. There was something beautiful about it. At that young age, I already knew that I'd be very happy if I could devote my life to finding out more about the stars and the planets that go around them. And it's been my great good fortune to do just that. ~ Carl Sagan
Library Card quotes by Carl Sagan
There's no better teacher for writing than reading ... Get a library card. That's the best investment. ~ Alisa Valdes
Library Card quotes by Alisa Valdes
A single man of good intelligence must be in want of a library card. ~ Trudy Wallis
Library Card quotes by Trudy Wallis
You've never been a whiner, Margo."
"I could give lessons.It's time for me to grow up, take responsibility,be sensible."
"Talk to life insurance salesman," Josh said dryly. "Apply for a library card.Clip coupons."
She looked down her nose. "Spoken like a man born with not only a silver spoon but the whole place setting stuck in his arrogant little mouth."
"I happen to have several library cards," he muttered. "Somewhere."
"Do you mind? ~ Nora Roberts
Library Card quotes by Nora Roberts
Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written.And guess What? It's all available.All you have to do is go to the library.But guess what?Only three percent of the people in America have a library card.Wow,they must be expensive!No, they're free.Probably in every neighborhood.Three percent! ~ Jim Rohn
Library Card quotes by Jim Rohn
Between notes, he had contemplated means of destroying Myrna Minkoff but had reached no satisfactory conclusion. His most promising scheme had involved getting a book on munitions from the library, constructing a bomb, and mailing it in plain paper to Myrna. Then he remembered that his library card had been revoked. ~ John Kennedy Toole
Library Card quotes by John Kennedy Toole
When I got [my] library card, that was when my life began. ~ Rita Mae Brown
Library Card quotes by Rita Mae Brown
My most prized possession was my library card from the Oakland Public Library. ~ Bill Russell
Library Card quotes by Bill Russell
Your mouth belongs in my Vagina

This was said to me in a University Library and the only person present was in a picture clearly marked Stephanie Lord. ~ Stephanie Lord
Library Card quotes by Stephanie Lord
I became a librarian at the Sainte-Genevieve Library in Paris. I made this gesture to rid myself of a certain milieu, a certain attitude, to have a clean conscience, but also to make a living. I was twenty-five. I had been told that one must make a living, and I believed it. ~ Marcel Duchamp
Library Card quotes by Marcel Duchamp
A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack. ~ Andrew Card
Library Card quotes by Andrew Card
The only people who ever prize purity of ignorance are those who profit from a monopoly on knowledge. ~ Orson Scott Card
Library Card quotes by Orson Scott Card
But I didn't mind. I loved that everything was cataloged and ready to go and that I was technically now living and sleeping in a library. ~ B.J. Novak
Library Card quotes by B.J. Novak
What did this portend? He still breathed, the instruments did not change, his heart beat on. But he called to Peter. Did this mean that he longed to live the life of his child of the mind, Young Peter? Or in some kind of delirium was he speaking to his brother the Hegemon? Or earlier, his brother as a boy. Peter, wait for me. Peter, did I do well? Peter, don't hurt me. Peter, I hate you. Peter for one smile of yours I'd die or kill. What was his message? ~ Orson Scott Card
Library Card quotes by Orson Scott Card
The present Mr. Parslow was teaching his son the craft; the two of them and their three workmen would scramble like industrious termites over the scaffolding they'd erected at the corner of the library, or over the roof of the chapel, and haul up bright new blocks of stone or rolls of shiny lead or balks of timber. The ~ Philip Pullman
Library Card quotes by Philip Pullman
The record store was a place of escape. It was a library and a clubhouse - Cameron Crowe quoted ~ Gary Calamar
Library Card quotes by Gary Calamar
I want to have schools and libraries and other institutions named after me. I tell my daughter that all the time. ~ Kam Williams
Library Card quotes by Kam Williams
the kind of person on whom you could put all your hopes, who could carry all your fears, and he would not let you down, would not betray you. I ~ Orson Scott Card
Library Card quotes by Orson Scott Card
But no one can prepare for the worst. The worst doesn't only dash hopes; it tears through everything in ways that are almost meant to hurt, to punish, to shame. Despite my most sobering forecasts, life can still play the cruelest card and scuttle everything - and just when I thought we were sailing past the shoals. ~ Andre Aciman
Library Card quotes by Andre Aciman
Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books. ~ Orson Scott Card
Library Card quotes by Orson Scott Card
While holding positive thoughts and emotions is advantageous, positive thinking itself is not "Hallmark Card thinking." It's really an ongoing awareness that all truly is well with the world, with life, and with oneself. It's also a commitment not to mindlessly pass on fears but to bring positive energy, images, ideas, and feelings into the lives of others, to help them attune to the wellness at the heart of the world. ~ David Spangler
Library Card quotes by David Spangler
I'd like to have a business card saying: Bruce Norris kicked your arse. ~ Robert Muchamore
Library Card quotes by Robert Muchamore
You must be good company for yourself."
"Not me. My memories."
"Maybe that's who you are, what you remember. ~ Orson Scott Card
Library Card quotes by Orson Scott Card
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a very notorious couple of cats.
As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians,
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
They had an extensive reputation.
[...]
When the family assembled for Sunday dinner,
With their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner
On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens,
And the cook would appear from behind the scenes
And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow
"I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow!
For the joint has gone from the oven like that!"
Then the family would say: "It's that horrible cat!
It was Mungojerrie – or Rumpleteazer!" -
And most of the time they left it at that.

Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way of working together.
And some of the time you would say it was luck
And some of the time you would say it was weather.
They would go through the house like a hurricane,
And no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie – or Rumpleteazer?
Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

And when you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie! And Rumpleteazer!"
And there's nothing at all to be done about that! ~ T.S. Eliot
Library Card quotes by T.S. Eliot
Book lovers will understand me,
and they will know too that part of the pleasure
of a library lies in its very existence. ~ Jan Morris
Library Card quotes by Jan Morris
The brain does much more than recollect. It compares, synthesizes, analyzes, generates abstractions. We must figure out much more than our genes can know. That is why the brain library is some ten thousand times larger than the gene library. Our passion for learning, evident in the behaviour of every toddler, is the tool for our survival. Emotions and ritualized behaviour patterns are built deeply into us. They are part of our humanity. But they are not characteristically human. Many other animals have feelings. What distinguishes our species is thought. The cerebral cortex is a liberation. We need no longer be trapped in the genetically inherited behaviour patterns of lizards and baboons. We are, each of us, largerly responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves. ~ Carl Sagan
Library Card quotes by Carl Sagan
The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite, perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Library Card quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
We've got to recognize that when we march into Iraq, we're setting up the card tables in front of every university in the Arab world, the Islamic world, to recruit for al-Qaida. ~ Chris Matthews
Library Card quotes by Chris Matthews
You think I don't know?' I heard Seth say in a smug, knowing way. 'That I didn't know this entire time I've been gone?'
'Know what?' Aiden sounded surprisingly calm.
Seth laughed softly. 'She may be here with you, right now, but that's just a moment in time in the big scheme of things. And all moments end, Aiden. Yours will, too.'
I wanted to throw open the door and tell Seth to shut up.
'Sounds like something on the back of a twisted Hallmark card,' replied Aiden. ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Library Card quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I suspect that the real attraction was a large library of fine books, which was left to dust and spiders since Uncle March died. ~ Louisa May Alcott
Library Card quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Day surfing is the act of filling a day with no money, and no plans, seeing where you wash up: head into town, start at the library, then onto the pet shop, watch the road construction team working, a run in the park, listen to a busker. Day surfing is a much larger challenge at home, where it can often be white knuckle survival. ~ Lucy H. Pearce
Library Card quotes by Lucy H. Pearce
It is better to buy than burrow books. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Library Card quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life. ~ Norman Cousins
Library Card quotes by Norman Cousins
It is painful to fail. But it is far sadder when a storyteller stops wanting to try. ~ Orson Scott Card
Library Card quotes by Orson Scott Card
Although I enjoy digging through the library to help students find books, my aim is to help them develop self-confidence in choosing books for themselves. ~ Donalyn Miller
Library Card quotes by Donalyn Miller
Digestion of words as well; I often read aloud to myself in my writing corner in the library, where no one can hear me, for the sake of better savouring the text, so as to make it all the more mine. ~ Alberto Manguel
Library Card quotes by Alberto Manguel
Angus, when you're done with the brick, I shall add some oiled rags. That will make it smoke even worse."
Angus turned an admiring glance at his partner in crime. "Miss,ye've a gift fer this,ye do."
She chuckled,the sound just as seductive, except for the hint of mockery. "I'm becoming as adept at this as the new owner is at shirking his duty."
"Now,miss,he might have a good reason not to rush here."
"Like what?"
"I don't know.Perhaps he won several houses at the card game and has been visitin' them all."
"It's far more likely he was waylaid by a lass with loose morals. From what I hear, the man's a lace-bedecked profligate."
Blast the woman and her rude assumptions! He may have stayed in Stirling to sample the charms of a widow, but that did not make a lace-bedecked profligate.What burned the most was that she was correct in her assumption about what had kept him away from his new acquisition. ~ Karen Hawkins
Library Card quotes by Karen Hawkins
A couple of months in the laboratory can frequently save a couple of hours in the library. ~ Frank Westheimer
Library Card quotes by Frank Westheimer
It was good to walk into a library again; it smelled like home. ~ Elizabeth Kostova
Library Card quotes by Elizabeth Kostova
I know, I know. They should make a hallmark card for that experience since it's so cliché: "Whoops, sorry your high school boyfriend can't keep it in his pants… here's a cute puppy wearing a bowtie. ~ R.S. Grey
Library Card quotes by R.S. Grey
The library, I presume," he said quietly. "I've a fondness for libraries. ~ Lorraine Heath
Library Card quotes by Lorraine Heath
Our lips met hungrily, and his clever artistic hands wrapped around my hips. A sudden buzz from my regular cell phone startled me from the kissing.
"Don't," said Adrian, his eyes ablaze and breathing ragged.
"What if there's a crisis at school?" I asked. "What if Angeline 'accidentally' stole one of the campus buses and drove it into the library?"
"Why would she do that?"
"Are you saying she wouldn't?"
He sighed. "Go check it. ~ Richelle Mead
Library Card quotes by Richelle Mead
Hive Queen: They never know anything. They don't have enough years in their little lives to come to an understanding of anything at all. And yet they think they understand. From earliest childhood, they delude themselves into thinking they comprehend the world, while all that's really going on is that they've got some primitive assumptions and prejudices. As they get older they learn a more elevated vocabulary in which to express their mindless pseudo- knowledge and bully other people into accepting their prejudices as if they were truth, but it all amounts to the same thing. Individually, human beings are all dolts.

Pequenino: While collectively...

Hive Queen: Collectively, they're a collection of dolts. But in all their scurrying around and pretending to be wise, throwing out idiotic half-understood theories about this and that, one or two of them will come up with some idea that is just a little bit closer to the truth than what was already known. And in a sort of fumbling trial and error, about half the time the truth actually rises to the top and becomes accepted by people who still don't understand it, who simply adopt it as a new prejudice to be trusted blindly until the next dolt accidentally comes up with an improvement.>

Pequenino: So you're saying that no one is ever individually intelligent, and groups are even stupider than individuals-- and yet by keeping so many fools engaged in pretending to be intelligent, they still come u ~ Orson Scott Card
