Ray Bradbury loves libraries…

and so should you!  It’s nice to hear someone speak so positively about such public places but I’m a bit concerned by the state of funding for libraries in the US.  And just think, next time you see an old man reading in the corner of the libary, it could be a famous author (or maybe not).

    You know I’m a Ray Bradbury fan!

    He once famously said,”There are worst things than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”

      You know I spend a lot of time with books and some of them do not deserve to be read. Not that I’m into censorship but I see these books and I think “Really?…Seriously? Someone got paid for thinking this up….?” It boggles the mind. Otherwise I quite like the quote :)
