Barack Obama on libraries

At the moment that we persuade a child, any child,

to cross that threshold,

that magic threshold into a library,

we change their lives forever, for the better.

It’s an enormous force for good.

Barack Obama

This quote, which I've used in various library documents here, is from a speech Barack Obama gave in 2005 to the Annual Conference of the ALA.  You can read the speech here.
