The Library Book
by Susan Orlean
informative
medium-paced
I will pick up just about any book that promises to be about books, libraries, or bookstores. I also love audiobooks read by the author so The Library Book seemed liked the perfect audiobook for me!
The Library Book focuses primarily on the 1986 fire of the Los Angeles Public Library. It accounts for the events of the day and the investigation into the cause. While I found this interesting, I liked that The Library Book went beyond this event. It also delves into the evolution of libraries and how much they have adapted over the years. I particularly enjoyed the chapter about OverDrive because I use their service so much!
I generally prefer listening to nonfiction books so I recommend this as an audiobook if you are interested in libraries!
