With her characteristic humour, insight and compassion, Orlean uses this terrible event as a lens through which to tell the story of all libraries - their history, their meaning and their uncertain future as they adapt and redefine themselves in a digital world.  Filled with heart, passion and extraordinary characters, The Library Book discusses the larger, crucial role that libraries play in our lives.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46322258182363,"sku":"9781782392262-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/md31873385178.jpg?v=1733182695","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781782392262-secondhand-the-library-book","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
