On the Grid : Central Library

"The Los Angeles Central Library is vast, not only with books, but with culture. Readings, events and exhibitions keep us on our toes with well-attended speaking events, classes and workshops. This gem is a great example of Beaux-Arts architecture, constructed in 1926. Be sure to set aside some time to wander through all seven levels of book collections. It's the center of our city's library network, which is one of the largest publicly funded library systems in the world with over six million volumes. So, it's pretty much everything you might want to know about life, in one building." - TypeEd
