• Siempre he pensado que los bibliotecarios son un poco como médicos, agentes de viajes y profesores, todo en uno. Todos sabemos que una buena historia puede levantar el ánimo, llevarte a cualquier lugar del mundo al que quieras ir y, además, en cualquier época, y las lecciones que aprendes de un buen libro pueden reforzar tus propias convicciones e incluso cambiarte la vida.
