40+ Quotes About Libraries:
This page contains a large list of quotes about libraries that are ideal to use as quotes of the day to display inside a library, classroom,
and for reading bulletin board displays.
As a classroom teacher, you can remind your students about the importance of reading by posting a new library quote on your chalkboard or white board each week.
Below you will find 41 quotes about libraries.
There are 9 FREE posters to download on this page.
For your convenience, my list of library quotes is in alphabetical order.
For some of the quotes on this page, I have designed a one page printable poster that you can download for free.
You can print these free posters and display them on a
chalkboard, whiteboard, or a bulletin board in your classroom.
You may also want to display these inspiring quotes in the staff room at your school.
I will be designing more graphics for these library quotes during the school year and adding them to this page,
so please check back here from time to time.
| "A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort.

| "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.
