Libraries are not made, they grow.

Libraries are not made, they grow.

Summary

This quote suggests that libraries are not static entities that are simply created or built, but rather they evolve and expand over time. It highlights the organic nature of libraries, emphasizing their ability to continuously develop and adapt to the needs of their users. Libraries are not fixed structures, but dynamic institutions that grow in terms of their collections, services, and the impact they have on their communities. This quote underscores the ongoing process of growth and innovation that characterizes libraries as they strive to meet the ever-changing information and knowledge needs of society.
