But somebody.” This happened multiple times before she finally gave in and, thanks to a chance event during a tour of Central involving the whiff of a book, went home to dive directly into her research. Public Library branch with her son for a school project involving interviewing a city worker (he picked librarian), she thought, “Someone should write a book about this. When talking about the emotional connection we have with and the magic of libraries after visiting an L.A. However, this was a recurring discussion she had with herself. In the text of the book, Orlean admits she was hesitant to write it, noting that friends don’t let friends write books (which she reiterated during the talk). She Was Really Hesitant to Write The Library Book Honestly, I wanted her to come home with me and dress me. To this event, she wore a black, high-necked, short-sleeve top a black skirt with alternating panels of electric blue and a sort of forest print knee-high black boots a fresh and youthful makeup look that perfectly matched her energetic and engaging demeanor and her natural red hair down with a chunk of sea green coming from the back, underside portion.

The event had already been scheduled and canceled once due to weather and the interest was huge-so I knew I had to save myself plenty of time to be sure I could get a seat. The doors were scheduled to open at 5:30pm. Around 3:00pm on April 22, I headed to the central branch of my local library for a 7:00pm event.
