What Was Ray Bradbury’s Primary Source Of Education?

Ray Bradbury’s primary source of education was the local library, because he could not afford a college education.

“Libraries raised me. I believe in libraries because most students don’t have any money”, he once said while he was alive.

Ray was famous for his novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953).
