ALA to dedicate site in Chicago suburb to Ray Bradbury

Headed to Chicago anytime soon? Bring a warm coat, of course, and swing by the northern suburb of Waukegan to pay homage to Ray Bradbury.

The American Library Association’s United for Libraries network will officially dedicate a Literary Landmark in the city to him on March 16 at 4:51 p.m., reports the Lake County News-Sun.

The particular site is the Waukegan Ravine in Ray Bradbury Park, which pops up in much of his literature.

The News-Sun notes that it’s not the first celebration of Bradbury’s connection to Waukegan, but it’s a much more influential and vibrant one.
