O bom bibliotecário / The good librarian

“Good librarians are natural intelligence operatives. They possess all of the skills and characteristics required for that work: curiosity, wide-ranging knowledge, good memories, organization and analytical aptitude, and discretion.”

Marilyn Johnson, This Book Is Overdue!

4 citações sobre bibliotecas e bibliotecários / 4 quotes about libraries and librarians

“Books everywhere! Each wall was armed with overcrowded yet immaculate shelving. It was barely possible to see paintwork. There were all different styles and sizes of lettering on the spines of the black, the red, the gray, the every-colored books. It was one of the most beautiful things Liesel Meminger had ever seen.
With wonder, she smiled. That such a room existed!”

Markus Zusak, The Book Thief "The library is not only a diary of the human race, but marks an act of faith in the continuity of humanity.” Vartan Gregorian “It took a bit of popcorn and a library snack bar to make me realize that being a librarian was about more than just giving people information. It was about serving a community. And if the community is hungry for more than just knowledge, then maybe it’s about time to open a snack bar.”   Scott Douglas "Rule number one: Don’t fuck with librarians.” Neil Gaiman :)
