This month, we invite you to explore The Library Book by Susan Orlean. How does the design of a library shape the way we gather, learn, and connect? Using the 1986 fire at the Los Angeles Public Library as a starting point, Orlean explores the history and evolution of libraries—from their architecture and organization to the people and communities they serve. Along the way, she reveals how these spaces are designed to make knowledge accessible, invite discovery, and bring people together.
