Ironwood Evening Book Club: The Library Book

Do you love to read and talk about books? Join a small group of other readers for this one-hour, in-person conversation facilitated by a librarian, at the Ironwood Library. In September, we will be reading The Library Book, by Susan Orlean. "New Yorker staff writer Orlean (Rin Tin Tin) doubles as an investigative reporter and an institutional historian in this sprawling account of the 1986 fire at the Los Angeles Central Public Library. On April 29, 1986, just before 11 a.m., a fire broke out in the stacks of the main branch and burned for seven hours, destroying 400,000 books and damaging hundreds of thousands more." -- Publishers Weekly Once signed up, visit the Ironwood Library to pick up a book club set copy.
