“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” — Ray Bradbury

It’s #BannedBooksWeek! We’re celebrating the freedom to read, imagine, and question.

Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451” reminds us that ideas are fragile and essential! What’s a banned book you love?

Ray would have turned 105 today! Drop one of your favorite Bradbury quotes in the comments—let’s see if we can collect 105 together.

Born on this day in 1920, Ray Bradbury gave us rockets to Mars, carnivals of shadow, and the firemen of the future.

His stories remind us that wonder and warning go hand in hand.
