Miss Los Angeles, looking all perky on this orange crate label, is obviously proud of her Los Angeles Downtown Library. Although the Library is now surrounded by lots of tall buildings, inside the 1926 portion, time has stood still. My favorite space is the rotunda area, with the wonderful globe light and history of California murals up high, with the old-school card catalog drawers down low. This banner also hangs in that space, along with special exhibit galleries off the corridors. Then there's the new renovated portion of the library, with eight floors of material waiting to be checked out. The Library gift shop is my downtown go-to spot for books and other gifts, as I've always found the perfect present. Note that if you have a Library card, parking downtown is a bargain!
