Very informative on the central library and libraries in general! I have to say, I enjoyed the first 10 and the last 10 chapters much more than the middle 12. The author did an thorough research of the history of the library, and added (usually) appreciated thoughtful commentary. I listened to the audiobook and I’d recommend others to do the same!
