Two great writers on why they love libraries. For more about Sandra Cisneros and Ray Bradbuy click on their names.
"I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took me to the library. I wanted to become a writer so I could see my name in the card catalog."
-- Sandra Cisneros
"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."
-- Ray Bradbury
See you at the library!
