History
Bradbury Library was named after the writer Ray Bradbury, who wrote such books as Fahrenheit 451. Unfortunately, Ray Bradbury was unavailable to attend the opening ceremony for the library named in his honour, so instead the privilege was passed onto Steven Bradbury, Australia's first ever Winter Olympic gold medalist. Despite Steven's previous good luck his opening of the library resulted in him being in Malton on the fateful day of the outbreak and being devoured by hungry mobs of fans.
In an ironic twist worthy of Alanis Morissette, the irreplaceable collection of Bradbury papers (including the manuscript for Fahrenheit 451) was subsequently destroyed by fire.
Barricade Policy
As one of Malton's finest information resources, Bradbury Library's doors should remain wide open so as to allow easy access to learning materials for all of Malton's citizens.
