1.17 Visiting the Los Angeles Public Library

Listen Later

Welcome back to The Community Library! This week I’m talking about my trip to the Los Angeles Central Library. In this episode I talk about what inspired the visit, why I love libraries, and the library’s collection of patent listings. I hope you enjoy!

Join me next week for a discussion of A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf! You can listen to the audiobook for free on Spotify or YouTube.

Visit my website here for a full transcription of the episode.
