From The New York Times.
“Libraries raised me,” Mr. Bradbury said. “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.”
Pretty cool post. I just came by your blog and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon!
When I lived in California, it seemed that any time there was a budget crisis (credit Prop 13), the libraries were among the first to go. I gather that hasn’t changed much since I left. Wouldn’t want the kids to start reading or thinking.
Hey, have you seen this news article?
New details about Michael Jackson’s Death Emerge
I was wondering if you were going to blog about this…
They’re going fast, aren’t they? We’re lucky to live close enough to the (relatively) well-funded downtown Denver library that my kids can get in about once a week. I can’t imagine trying to do without it.
By the way, anybody else think Katy may not be for real?
In the small town I live in, the university library serves as a public library as well. Nice to have it within walking distance, and they’ll hook up kids and community members with library cards with next to no hassle. Their kids’ collection is awesome.
Wrt Katy…I’d been wondering myself.
