RAY BRADBURY'S FAHRENHEIT 451 WILL BE THE BOOK READ AND DISCUSSED IN THE SIOUXLAND WIDE PROJECT.

KATHY KELLY OF THE SIOUX CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY SAYS BRADBURY WROTE THE NOVEL TO PRESENT A WORST CASE SCENARIO INVOLVING THE RISE OF ANOTHER FORM OF MEDIA IN THE EARLY 1950'S:

FAHRENHEIT 451 HAS ITSELF BEEN A BANNED BOOK AT TIMES SINCE ITS PUBLICATION IN 1953.

THERE WILL ALSO BE SHOWINGS OF THE MOVIE BASED ON BRADBURY'S NOVEL IN THE WEEKS AHEAD.
