This fellow is taking a shot of the LA Public Library in the rear view mirror of a school bus. (Which is a nice idea for a picture) #LAPL #DTLA #HopeStreet #StreetPhotography

FANTASTIC #NightAtTheLibrary! 3,000 people partied the night away in the amazing halls, galleries, and atriums of #LAPublicLibrary last night. A truly wild array of wonderful events. Thank you #LibraryFoundationLA @laistofficial #ALOUDla #LAPL

The L.A. Public Library commissioned me and a writing team to adapt Octavia E. Butler's the Parable of the Sower into a Fate RPG. We're running portions of it at the Octavia Lab at the LAPL Central Branch in DTLA on 12/14! If you're a fan of the novel or Fate, sign up and roll dice with us!

And on the other wall of the library, a fireplace and big painting of long ago California. #lapl #libraries

Yesterday I got a few minutes in a lively small old library so close to my son's apartment. #lapl #libraries
Felipe de Neve branch, on the National Register of Historic Places, opened 1929

I learned about (yet another!) free resource you can get at #LAPL: they have online access to all of the Gale “Business Plans Handbook” books. These are books full of specific, real-world business plans that you can read and riff on for your own situation. You can search by topic or business type across all 50 editions. Sweet! https://www.lapl.org/gale-ebooks (it looks like this collection is available at many other libraries, too) #ILoveTheLibrary

Following up: this week’s Sugar episode did not disappoint, and Detective Story is not really a noir film. It’s a very good film, mind you - quite dramatic - but not noir. I think that people look at movies that are black and white, from the 40’s or 50’s, and have cops in them and think that’s noir. Nope. But a good movie, nonetheless. Available on Kanopy. Thanks, #LAPL!

Just a quick reminder!

In California, the Los Angeles Public Library allows you to get a library card even outside of LA, as long as you live in California.

With your, #LAPL account you have access to a lot of program including free #LinkedinLearning and #Coursera.

Other Public libraries probably offer the same.

does the management of the Los Angeles Public Library have a presence on mastodon, and have they considered hosting mastodon instances for the 3.8 million Los Angeles residents? #LosAngeles #LAPL
