Los Angeles, Monday Feb 7. Walked around the city, and then visited the very large City Library just finished. Curious archi- tecture, all in concrete, broad spaces more for show than for books. Was not impressed at all with the value of the Library. It takes up an entire square and is set terrace like atop a hill surrounded by a very large gardens. If they have a book stack I did not see it. The idea appears to be to put every single library together on the shelves and pick out what impresses you. All the books I saw are arranged flat against the walls. No aisles anywhere. The budgeted skeleton may have held 100,000 books, but there some main Economic Zoology and Petrology. Then visited the Los Angeles Art and Nat. Hist. Museum in the old Exposition grounds. Their Ranch La Brea collection of course wonderful. Also the Grammes (king) of Africa and North America. Decoy arts elsewhere.
