Nyt:Combined-Print-And-E-Book-Nonfiction=2018-11-04 Books Los Angeles Public Library

The Library Book alternates between a true-crime work on the suspicion of arson in the 1986 fire at the Los Angeles Central Library; and a broader history of that library and Orlean's personal devotion to libraries in general, especially as the site of fond memories she shared with her mother.
