Lot Essay

"I spent quite a bit of my youth in libraries. I was encouraged by my teachers to go to the library, all of us were...and it became a living experience for us. I would hear stories from librarians about various heroes and heroines. The library in my day was a very important part of my life." (Peter T. Nesbett, , University of Washington Press, Seattle, 2000, p. 41.)
