"The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library". I love this quote by Albert Einstein. Schools and colleges are a good resource for learning, but that is all they are, a resource. Those institutions are not the only means for learning. True learning can be done by the individual. The library is our greatest resource. With colleges and schools, many times, you only receive the teacher's/professor's point of view. Much indoctrination occurs in these institutions, especially if government funded. But a library- that opens up a world of knowledge. So while I agree with getting an education, I believe, too, that we should embrace the wealth of knowledge found in a library. It would even be cool, when possible, to have your own home library.

I love that quote and totally agree. Schools and universities just help one learn how to think. The rest of an education comes from reading. I have a wonderful library filled with classics and a huge variety of books. I've read and reread them all.

same here. There is nothing like an expanded home library.

I tell people, as a joke, that's why I majored in Library Science: you don't have to know anything, except where the books about whatever you want to know are located!
