Quote: "The intrinsic worth of a library is as a limitless source of information both on matters of real life application as well as for mere entertainment. The first is most ably illustrated by a former Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Louis D. Brandeis, who said, 'I have thought I would not get as much from books as I would from tackling concrete problems. However, I have generally run up against a problem, have painfully tried to think it out, with a measure of success, and have then read a book and found to my surprise that some other chap was before me.'”
