Didn't hold my interest
Just not that interesting. I'm actually not that interested in the detailed history and personalities in the history of the Los Angeles Public Library system. The chapters jumped around in time. I found myself skimming ahead often. I gave up 2/3 of the way through in search of a more interesting read that would hold my interest. The stellar sounding blurbs from other writers are WAY overblown. I suggest checking this book out from the library rather than shelling out the buck for a dull hardback read.
