When this was out on Reese Witherspoon’s book club I wasn’t really sure if it was something I’d be interested in reading but I put it on my holds at the library anyway. That was January! I started the audio book as soon as it was available to me and I was fascinated and hooked from the beginning, which really surprised me because I usually read fiction and that’s it. I wasn’t aware of the LA library fire, because I was just 5 years old when it happened, but the idea of that many books and artifacts was heartbreaking. I liked that the book covered not only the fire but the lives of some of the employees and the history of the library itself. I’ve never really thought about something like this happening but I can’t imagine how devastating it could be. My local library system is the most used in the state so I can see how catastrophic it could be to lose it. Anyway, The Library Book was a fascinating read and I highly recommend it.
