“They were picking up tax information and getting tutored in English and checking out movies and tracing their family history. They were sitting in the library, just because it was a pleasant place to sit, and sometimes they were doing things that had nothing to do with the library.” — Susan Orlean, “The Library Book”
In her ode to the fire-ravaged old library in downtown Los Angeles , Orlean points out something that’s easy to forget: These beloved literary repositories offer far more than just books. And at the same low price of zero dollars. All you need is a library card. If you don’t have one of those, well, they’re free too.
Orlean was writing about the original Los Angeles Public Library , which today boasts 73 branches. Those hubs, along with the many L.A.

Here are eight little-known things you can check out from L.A. libraries. Just remember to return them in one to three weeks.
