‘If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries.

And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys.’

“I will always be on the side of the libraries”: A Conversation with Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading.
