A nation that does not read for itself cannot think for itself. And a
nation that cannot think for itself risks losing both its identity and its
freedom. Ray Bradbury was right when he said, 'You don't have to burn books
to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.'

"Both reading and a love of reading are learned behaviors that should be
taught at home and in schools. Like many of you in this room, I've spent my
life in the company of good books, because my mother taught me to love them,
and my teachers taught me to read them, and my library let me take them home
free. Those early experiences had a profound impact on my life, and on my
career as a public school teacher and librarian, and on my present work in
the U.S. and around the world."
