Libraries mentioned in Out of Oz:
p.50: "Into the lending library, Murthy," said Glinda.  "Quickly now. Move your arthritic hips or I'll run you down."
          The librarian was a retired Munchkin on a stool. She recognized him though she didn't know his name. "I'm looking to borrow a book that can teach one the essentials of preparing a meal," she said. "For dining, I mean. For human dining."
          "Books en't going to teach that, Lady Glinda," he said. "Mothers teach that. Closest I can help you with is a volume on animal husbandry, which has an illustrated index on slaughtering your own livestock."

p.109: The Lion backed up as the dwarf turned a red no beet would ever manage. "I sent you to collect a library book, and you come back with a child?"

Some of my favorite Out of Oz passages:
p. 145: "I may not know how to fly but I know how to read, and that's almost the same thing." (Grayce Graeling to Rain)

p.534: "People need something to be missing. They need to crave something they don't have."

p.536: ...to grieve. Is that, in the end--that capacity to hurt--the most essential ingredient for a ruler?
