“TO BUILD UP A LIBRARY IS TO CREATE A LIFE.
IT’S NEVER JUST A RANDOM COLLECTION OF BOOKS”
- CARLOS MARÍA DOMÍNGUEZ
BACK TO HOMEGCU Library
"The library is the heart of all university’s work directly so as regards its research work and indirectly as regards its educational work which derives its life from research work. Scientific research needs a library as well as its laboratory, while for humanistic research the library is both library and laboratory in one."
- Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, 1948
