Ray Bradbury's ode to the library that raised him, which just closed
"Libraries raised me. I don't believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries, because most students don't have any money. 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." Ray Bradbury, on the library he loves the most, which has just closed -- like many other libraries around the US.
