"The History of Scotland" by James Browne

[macwilkin]

Getting a book on loan from a library is like wearing a rented kilt.

I beg your pardon, sir. I am a librarian as well as a history instructor, and I am very proud of the services libraries provide to the public, so I find your comments somewhat disturbing to say the least.

There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.

-- Andrew Carnegie (born in Dunfermline)

I can't tell you how many times I have been able to locate and use a resource that would otherwise by unaccessible thanks to a library.
