  1. Reading is a necessary and essential aspect of our lives and we gratefully recognize those initiatives that foster a lifelong love of books among our nation of readers…. At the end of my day, I greatly enjoy sitting down with a moving biography or a historical volume or a current volume or a current events bestseller.  At the moment I am engrossed in Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.  As Charles Scribner, Jr. said, "Reading is a means of thinking with another person's mind; it forces you to stretch your own."  As a mental exercise, a learning tool or a treasured family pastime, reading is indeed one of life's most excellent adventures.Very truly yours, George E. Pataki[Governor of New York] • Need help @your library? • Finding a good book • Locating information for a research project • Using our online library resources off campus • Making a Works Cited Page • Just ask!
