It’s interesting. Very detailed and technical so far. Having over twenty years experience in Architecture and Design I’m saddened and disappointed there were so many fire code violations and the building was not updated to current codes at the time.

Chapter 25 is very interesting as it discusses air rights and underground spaces with respect to urban zoning but I am particularly intrigued by the fact that 1/3 of the Los Angeles library’s restoration and expansion was covered by a donation from a tobacco company. The tobacco company got a large tax deduction in return for the donation.

I love that it’s noted here that the librarian Althea Warren established an advice line that parents could call to inquire if a particular movie was appropriate for children, but why not for books as well?

Chapter 13 is about the head librarians but I’m not sure who was librarian during the fire so I’m not supportive if this chapter. It’s tedious information.
