A review by zuulish
The Library Book by Susan Orlean

emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

4.75

this book was extremely well written and the way it weaves around past and future puts the fire in a cultural context. there was the loss of material in the fire, but also the impact of losing a library space is much more massive than one originally thinks. as someone who works in a library i found myself so engrossed in this story. it felt like i was really seen. i highly recommend this book for library workers and for anyone who wonders why the library is so deeply important
