“I need books. It’s not like drugs or drink or even fatty foods. I need books every day or my brain freezes up like a car in a Minnesota winter. So it is that I made a commitment to my local library, I will twelve-step my way out of book buying addiction with their help.”
“The Des Plaines Public Library is an amazing edifice of brick and glass. The first thing that strikes you is how bright it is. Lots of warm natural light fills the whole space and the shelving is white so the whole place seems to sort of glow in the evening. The staff is friendly and helpful, which always makes you feel better about a library. They have a self check-out system too, no long lines.” (from Bookslut)
