Since listing on MySpace last week, the Stiern Library has gained more than 150 “friends.”

A Graduate of the Library

CSUBAV Librarian Kristine Holloway reports the following from a talk from noted author Ray Bradbury:

Ray Bradbury in a speech given on April 15, 2008 for California State University Bakersfield Antelope Valley stated that he had not graduated from a college or a university but from a library. He went on to say that everything he had read had influenced his development as a person and his work as a writer. He used Melville as an example of the powerful influence of books on individuals by demonstrating the link between the writing of Moby Dick and Melville’s first reading of Shakespeare’s Richard III and Othello at the age of thirty. Students become who they are both personally and professionally in large part because of what they are exposed to in their education and as Bradbury powerfully pointed out that education occurs, at least in part, through the Library.
