Heston Collection at the Atlantic City Free Public Library, says the work she does for the show is just another part of her job."

"The library connects us..." #quote by Carl Sagan

"The library connects us..." #quote by Carl Sagan | The Information Professional | Scoop.it

"The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.” ― Carl Sagan, Cosmos
