"I have often thought that nothing would do……" — Thomas Jefferson

"I have often thought that nothing would do more extensive good at small expense than the establishment of a small circulating library in every county, to consist of a few well-chosen books, to be lent to the people of the country under regulations as would secure their safe return in due time."

— Thomas Jefferson
