For The Love of Reading and Learning!
We would like to encourage literacy with reading
tips or quotes related to reading and the sheer fun, joy, adventure and
pleasure of reading and lifelong learning with READ/OC
learners, their volunteer tutors, our Friends
of READ/OC, our OCPL Branch partners, OC Community Resources and County of
Orange colleagues, and community partners throughout Orange County.
Forward your own reading, writing or lifelong
learning tips or share a favorite quote to READ/OC so we can encourage each other
to read, write and learn! Send by email to readoc@occr.ocgov.com or forward
them through library mail to READ/OC at OCPL Headquarters.
Here are a few learning inspirations from writers
who love to read to help get you started:
―When things go right, I read. When things go
wrong, I read more.
Sara Nelson :: So Many Books, So Little
Time: A Year of Passionate Reading
―The more you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
―We read to know we are not alone.”
CS Lewis :: The Lion, The Witch and The
Wardrobe
―It is not true we have only one life to live. If
we can read, we can live as many lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.”
―A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.”
“Words are the voice of the heart.”
