What Do you think when I say library?
The following are from OCLC's 2005 report Perceptions of Libraries and Information Services starting in Section 3, 3.8 The Library Brand (pg. 31):
Books, books, books, rows and rows of books, stacks of books, tables filled
with books, people holding books, people checking out books. Libraries are
all about books. That is what I think and that is what I will always think.

The librarian hushing everyone .

Equality. Libraries more than any other institution make the
access of information available to anyone who wants it.
Libraries run literacy programs, have volunteers teach ESL
courses, Give open access joyfully to all the literatue, art,
periodicals and plain old ‘how to’ instructions. Give access
to Natural History, Music. Libraries are the treasure of our
Civilization. AND They are the great equalizers. The first time
I used a computer was in a library. THe first thing I think of
when I think of a library is MAGIC!
