ABOUT THE BOOK

"The Library Book" by Susan Orlean.

A New York Times bestseller. A dazzling love-letter to books and libraries tangled up in an investigation of the 1986 fire in the main branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. "In Senegal, the polite expression for saying someone died is to say his or her library has burned."―Susan Orlean, "The Library Book."

“Everybody who loves books should check out 'The Library Book.'” ―The Washington Post.

“A sheer delight…as rich in insight and as varied as the treasures contained on the shelves in any local library”―USA Today
