To read is to live, and other lessons from Susan Orlean's 'The Library Book
On the morning of April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. As the moments passed, the patrons and staff who had been cleared out of the building realized this was not the usual fire alarm. As one fireman recounted, Once that first stack got going, it was `Goodbye, Charlie.' The fire was disastrous: it reached 2000 degrees and burned for more than seven hours.
