Trona, California is known for its isolation and desolation. In 2000, it had a population of 2,742. It is also the hometown of my very dear friend, Lauretta. The Trona Branch Library is pictured on page 87. Although I have been to Trona, I did not visit the library, It looks much like I expected it to. I have also added the Central Library in Philadelphia (p.82) and the Main Library in Salt Lake City (p.115, 123, & 133) to my must-see list. Also the exteriors of the Main Library in Deuth, Minnesota (p.110) and the Willard Library in Evansville, Indiana (p.120) would draw me inside. In chapter 4 "Urban and Rural Libraries", there are three moving written pieces entitled "The Northeast Nevada Regional Bookmobile" (p.96), "Practicing Seva" (p.104), and "Spreading Enlightenment" (p.106). I highly recommend this book if only to read these three stories. Twenty-one more pages to go. I knew I would end up reading this one cover to cover.
