OK, gushing over a library might seem odd, but have you......walked upstairs to the atrium outside the children's reading room and stared at that 10' glass globe light fixture floating under those windows, surrounded by that enormous 360 degree mural?...visited the three small art and exhibit galleries (upstairs and under the escalators)?...perused the exceptionally well curated gift shop?...visited the theatre where the hold guest lectures?...taken your kid to the comfy picture book reading room or a performance at children's stage?...enjoyed the fixtures and ceiling paintings in the children's room?...sat outside the library in the well shaded lawn alongside the fountains?OK, if those haven't won you over, man, you're a tough sell. Oh, I know... grab a book, go to the "new" atrium, to the bridge overlooking that five story wall of rooms, and sit in a leather chair and have a good read.

    The Central Library of Los Angeles is truly a book lover’s paradise. There is no ordinary library, and a large collection of books is within a gorgeous 1926 architectural masterpiece. The exterior of the art deco and its decorative sculptures are fantastic (must be seen at a level of eye-to-eye). Also, how many libraries have short story vending machines (cool and free) and gift shops. It's a must-see experience. Don't schedule yourself too tight because the interiors are artworks, endless rooms are full of amazing books, and the Roundhouse will fascinate you. My favorite is the children's reading room.

    The tour was in a hurry, and the Central Library of Los Angeles was not arranged by me, but when I was doing my homework, I saw the introduction of his pyramid-style roof, which was very distinctive. When I went to the sky space, I accidentally found that the library was opposite, so I had the opportunity to enjoy the above pattern up close. The pattern of the torch symbolizes the fire of knowledge. This is the oldest building in Los Angeles, and it is really unique.

    图书馆是一个城市的良心, 免费对公众开放的图书馆, 里面有很多的流浪汉、 黑劳工、 非法移民等等,但是一旦进入到其中, 大家都是公平的读书人。 图书馆的管理员还会时常巡视,提醒那些抱书大睡的人,珍惜当下。

    Very good, the building of this library itself is also one of the oldest buildings in Los Angeles, is a representative work of classical architecture, but the library is very beautiful and artistic.
