Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race， the discoveries we have made， the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages; they picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature; help us in our difficul?ties， comfort us in sorrow and suffering， change hours of wear?iness into moments of delight， enrich our minds with ideas， fill them with good and happy thoughts， and lift us out of and above ourselves.

書籍之于人類，猶如記憶之于個(gè)人。書籍既可記錄人種之演變，亦可記載人類之發(fā)現(xiàn)，既有日積月累之知識(shí)，亦不乏世代相傳之經(jīng)驗(yàn);書籍之于人類，可描繪自然之奇跡與美麗，于困難無助之際予以提攜，于悲傷痛苦之時(shí)施以撫慰，讓困倦之時(shí)刻變?yōu)闅g樂之時(shí)光，讓頭腦充滿豐富之想象，讓心靈布滿美好快樂之思想，恃此而人可走出自我，超越自我。
