Spring Hill Book Discussion - Online

The April book is The Library Book by Susan Orlean.  The author interweaves stories of the Los Angeles Public Library's history; the 1986 fire that nearly destroyed it; the man accused of setting it; and the daily life of its current staff and patrons. The result:  a love letter to all libraries, full of anecdotes that could have happened any day at almost any public library, told with humor, drama, pathos, and empathy, and highlighting reasons libraries and library professionals are essential.  Contact the Spring Hill Branch for a copy of the book and discussion questions.
