The Library Book
by Susan Orlean
As a librarian and lover of libraries, it was fascinating to read about the history of LA’s central library. It was a good reminder about the ways that they have morphed and evolves over time, as well as what common themes persist. The parts related to the fire investigation were less interesting to me, but I was impressed all the same of how she used that narrative to tie together the weaving history of the city and the role of its library throughout. Now I definitely need to go visit the central library since I haven’t been before!
