Morning Book Club: The Library Book by Susan Orlean In-Person
On the morning of April 28, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. The blaze raged for more than seven hours, reaching two thousand degrees, destroying four hundred thousand books and damaging seven hundred thousand more. Investigators searched for answers, yet decades later the central question endures: Was the fire deliberately set—and by whom? Blending her lifelong love of libraries with a gripping investigation, Susan Orlean explores the mystery while celebrating the essential role of libraries and the people who sustain them. Librarian Neil will lead the discussion.
