451 bibliotecheche go away

At 451 degrees Fahrenheit paper books go to spontaneous combustion. What would a world without books, Ray Bradbury was asked in 1953, assuming a future where the written word would have deserved the condemnation by a government despotic and illiberal. Today, February 5, 2011, one day in the distant future envisioned by Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451, Great Britain is mobilized in an effort to keep open its libraries, launching the National Library Action Day.
