Title: The Library Book
Author: Susan Orlean
Date: August 8, 2023
Time: 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

This nonfiction book alternates between a true-crime work on the suspicion of arson and a broader history of the LA library and the author’s personal devotion to libraries in general. “On the morning of April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. As the moments passed, the patrons and staff who had been cleared out of the building realized this was not the usual fire alarm.”
