Every reader has found charms by which to secure possession of a page that, by magic, becomes as if never read before, fresh and immaculate. Libraries are the vaults and treasure chests of these charms.

    I’m glad to be the guardian of one of those vaults and treasure chests! :) Great quote. It reminded me that I should read more Manguel. I’ve only read The Library at Night.
