If you like to read or you spent your childhood at the library you will really get this book. It’s the true story of the burning of the LA library in the 1980’s. It was the worst library fire in US history. It’s a eulogy to what was lost & a love letter to all libraries. #booksky #thelibrarybook

In case you think I’ve been slacking… I’m delighted to introduce
#TheLibraryBook: the remarkable story of my local independent library, the The #GibsonLibrary , Saffron Walden founded 1832, and a hive of intrigue, drama, theft & romance ever since… 🧵🪡

I am a librarian’s daughter. Grew up in So Cal. On April 29, 1986 the largest library fire in the U.S. occurred at the LA Public Library. Why don’t I remember this? It was the day the west learned about #Chernobyl. @susanorlean #thelibrarybook
