Munde, Gail – Knowledge Quest, 2012
Librarianship places an ethical demand on practitioners to put patrons or library users' interests before self-interest, and indeed, this is the hallmark of any service profession.

Building a culture of reading in a school requires the participation of the entire school community--students, teachers, administrators, staff, parents, and patrons.

Lowry, Charles B. – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2011
Where library budgets are concerned, there is every evidence now, after three years, that research libraries have arrived at "the new normal."
