 Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better. 

- Sidney Sheldon

 At the dawn of the 21st century, where knowledge is literally power, where it unlocks the gates of opportunity and success, we all have responsibilities as parents, as Librarians, as educators, as politicians, and as citizens to instil in our children a love of reading. So that we can give them a chance to fulfil their dreams.
