The Library Book by Susan Orlean

4.0

I really enjoyed this one! The first third-ish read like a love letter to libraries and I was almost sad it was interrupted by the history of the fire and specifics about the LAPL! The only thing that bugged me a little was how she felt the need to describe every librarian she spoke with in maybe not the most flattering descriptions? It just seemed odd, since the level of detail was a bit superfluous and she had to know they'd someday read the book and the descriptions of themselves.
