"I received the fundamentals of my education in school, but that was not enough. My real education, the superstructure,
the details, the true architecture, I got out of the public library. For an impoverished child whose family could not afford to buy books,
the library was the open door to wonder and achievement, and I can never be sufficiently
grateful that I had the wit to charge through that door and make the most of it. Now, when I read constantly about the way in which library funds
are being cut and cut, I can only think that the door is closing and that American society has found one more way to destroy itself."
I, Asimov. New York: Doubleday, 1994. Isaac Asimov
