The Library Book by Susan Orlean

4.0

---

Listened to author-narrated Audible edition. I enjoyed this book more than I should have, I think, but I really did enjoy it. With the 1986 Los Angeles Central Library fire at its center, the story delves into books and libraries in general and the author’s love of them, while relaying the history of LA library, the building, its past and current leaders, the huge impact of the fire, as well as the story of the suspected arson. So much research and so many facts all intertwined. Others may be bored, but I was intrigued and engaged.
