![“Libraries are reservoirs of strength, grace and wit, reminders of order, calm and continuity, lakes of mental energy, neither warm nor cold, light nor dark ... In any library in the world, I am at home, unselfconscious, still and absorbed." [ Still in Melbourne January 1987 ]” quote by Germaine Greer](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/342/germaine-greer-1521_home_libraries-are-reservoirs-of-strength-gra_3143593.jpg)
