vartan gregorian, scholar and library advocate, from “Vartan Gregorian, Savior of the New York Public Library, Dies at 87”<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe New York Public Library is a New York and national treasure,\u201d he [Dr. Gregorian] said. \u201cThe branch libraries have made<\/em> lives and saved<\/em> lives. The New York Public Library is not a luxury. It is an integral part of New York\u2019s social fabric, its culture, its institutions, its media and its scholarly, artistic and ethnic communities. It deserves the city\u2019s respect, appreciation and support. No, the library is not a cost center! It is an investment in the city\u2019s past and future!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
