What Will Your Library Do With You?

I once had a professor to say, "I can tell a lot about a preacher by looking at his library." Generally, I would agree. When I think about personal libraries, I am reminded of this ditty:

Be a little careful about your library.
Do you forsee what you will do with it?
Very little to be sure.
But the real question is,
What will it do with you?

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Heavenly Father, dispenser of all knowledge, thank you for the library which You have entrusted to me. May it grow in volume as You see fit. Most of all, may You use it to influence and mold me, my family, and others, more into the image of Christ Jesus the Lord."
