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

📚#TrueCrime🔥 #TheLibraryBook by #SusanOrlean April 29, 1986: a fire alarm sounded in the LA Public Library. It burned for 7+ hours & consumed 400,000 books and damaged 700,000 more. Did someone purposefully set fire to the library - and if so, who? #booksky #blueskybooks 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹

18/20 The Library Book by Susan Orlean
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
