Reading changes your life.  Reading unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking travelers around the world and through time.  Reading helps you escape the confines of school and pursue your own education.  Through characters—the saints and the sinners, real or imagined—reading shows you how to be a better human being.  Donalyn Miller, author of The Book Whisperer and Reading in the Wild

“Then I let the stories live
inside my head, again and again
until the real world fades back
into cricket lullabies
and my own dreams.” 
― Jacqueline Woodson, Brown Girl Dreaming
​
“Few things linger longer or become more indwelling than that feeling of both completion and emptiness when a great book ends. That the book accompanies the reader forever from that day forward is part of literature's profligate generosity.” 
― Pat Conroy, My Reading Life
