“There are
worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.”
“Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future”
-Ray Bradbury
SF author Ray Bradbury has died at the age of 91. He was known for such works as Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man and The Martian Chronicles as well as many short stories. Bradbury was a great supporter of libraries telling the New York Times in 2009 that "Libraries raised me. When I
graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no
money. I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a
week for 10 years."
