7 Love Letters To Learning From The World’s Sharpest Minds
When was the last time you gave your local library a little love? See more here.

I read the Bradbury quote and thought “Me too,” except I didn’t read all the books, and I still probably haven’t written a thousand stories.
Check out the link. It made me proud to be human, and proud to be quoted.

“My local library branch started doing this “Blind Date with a Book” thing, thought you guys might like it. The shelf was full when we got there, but was like this as we were leaving. The books are wrapped in paper and have different designs on them, and then a few words vaguely describing the subject matter of the book. Things like “Drama”, “Plot Twists”, “espionage”, etc. The only thing exposed on the book is the barcode that you use to scan the book out. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.”
