Interesting article, but as of today it needs sources for most of the information. Yours, GeorgeLouis ( talk) 18:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC) reply

The murals in the rotunda

The decorative scheme of the rotunda dates from the original construction, with the murals completed in 1932/33; therefore chronologically they precede the late 1980s renovation. Mangoe ( talk) 10:02, 10 May 2013 (UTC) reply

Not a directory

Can somebody kindly remove the phone numbers because Wikipedia is not a directory? (Preferably the editor who put them there in the first place.) The addresses can stay because they tell the reader the exact location of the branches. Thank you. GeorgeLouis ( talk) 02:22, 21 October 2013 (UTC) reply

I have been in the Los Angeles Public Library and it is interesting and beautiful. There are help desks randomly located as well as at the main entrance. They have a touch screen for locating the part of the library you want to see. They have escalators going up and down from the street level. Mostly I went down to the genealogy section on the bottom floor. I took escalators all the way as I grew up using them. The library is centrally located Downtown on 6th Street between Hope and Flower Streets. It takes up the whole block on one side of the street. A fountain flows across the street. There is a restaurant on the Flower Street and 6th street side, on the SE corner. It is large. When you reach the tower room the ceiling is high and sculptures are wired to hang across the way. They are on wire coils and present no threat of falling. No, you cannot bring them in. They are there to look at. I suspicion that the maintenance staff can coil them in to work on them and to replace the wire. But they hang too high to reach from the floor. Children cannot tamper with them. There is a children's section with stories being told by a human reader. There are rest rooms and drinking fountains. There is a display room for photography and art displays. There is a computer section for those who are computer literate. And there are millions of books and photos you can check out. There is also a DVD and CD section where you can check them out. You can check out works of art. Magazines are also there. In other words it has just about everything you could want. You can spend days in there and not see it all (the books are included). Oh, Yes, there is also a gift shop.

City Librarians

This section needs some names and dates to complete it. Susan Orlean's book 'The Library Book' was used to write this section but not all the librarians were named in her book and dates for some librarians were not specified. Hope someone can fill in the missing data. Thanks. -- Gertrude206 ( talk) 07:11, 26 June 2019 (UTC) reply
