The Library Book
by Susan Orlean
Love libraries, liked this book quite a bit. When I heard Susan Orlean read from it in spring 2019, I had no idea that the LA public library had burned down, or the lengths that people went to bring it back. A line that will stick with me: “Writing a book, just like building a library, is an act of sheer defiance. It is a declaration that you believe in the persistence of memory.” And also, to give us all hope: “...libraries have persisted, and they have grown, and they will certainly endure.”
