Dear Safranim,
Does anyone know the source of the quotation that was part of the "Library 
Prayer" posted on Hasafran a few months ago? It was attributed to a 
"medieval poet" and reads as follows:

"The book will join you in solitude, accompany you in exile, serve as a 
candle in the dark, and entertain you in your loneliness.  It will do you 
good and ask no favor in return.  It gives and does not take."

Happy Pesach to all!
Joyce Levine
