Ray Bradbury, author of classics such as Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and countless other books and stories, passed away this morning in his LA home at the age of 91. Bradbury was an outspoken agent against censorship (his own works were often censored) and proponent of libraries (if not colleges):
"I spent three days a week for 10 years educating
myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People
should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no
money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and
I'd written a thousand stories."
If you're looking for a good read this summer, the O'Grady Library has plenty of
good Ray Bradbury books here on the shelves waiting to be checked out. All we ask is that you
don't burn them.
