This is one of the most remarkable, and by that I mean different, unique, on-of-a-kind books I have ever read. Although its focal point is the 1986 fire at the Los Angles Public Library, Orlean weaves in history, humor, compassion, and expands to include both general and specific information about libraries and books.
The Library Book will definitely make my list of Top Twelve Favorite Books for 2018 (can’t recall if I started out with Top Ten, but that has changed).
If I were looking for a career, I would walk across the street to my local library and apply for a job; then I get a library science degree.
