bethgaskell 's review for:
The Library Book
by Susan Orlean
I was given this book as a gift-‘a bookish book for a bookish person’. It’s a memoir of the LA public library, focussing on the devastating fire the 1980s, but also looking at the history, social impact and future of the library and libraries more generally. It is beautifully written, and, despite being build around a tragic event, strangely uplifting. I loved it!
