The library fueled all of my curiosities, from dinosaurs to ancient Egypt. When I graduated from high school in 1938, I began going to the library three nights a week. I did this every week for almost ten years and finally, in 1947, around the time I got married, I figured I was done. So I graduated from the library when I was twenty-seven. I... Ray Bradbury

It was all over the papers, but did Aberforth hide? No, he did not! He held his head high and went about his business as usual!
