COMP CLOSED ‘The Library Book’ by Susan Orlean

Shhh… We have three copies of The Library Book up for grabs this week, from the bestselling author of The Orchid Thief, Susan Orlean.

After moving to Los Angeles, Orlean became fascinated by a mysterious local crime that has gone unsolved since it was carried out on the morning of 29 April 1986: who set fire to the Los Angeles Public Library, ultimately destroying more than 400,000 books, and perhaps even more perplexing, why?

With her characteristic humour, insight and compassion, Orlean uses this terrible event as a lens through which to tell the story of all libraries. Filled with heart, passion and extraordinary characters, The Library Book discusses the larger, crucial role that libraries play in our lives.

Want to pore over these pages? Simply tell us your most memorable library experience (in 25 words or fewer). Our favourite three will get to check out The Library Book!
