Los Angeles Public Library Providing
Online Services to People of All Ages
While the Los Angeles public library
buildings remain closed to the public, librarians from several branches have
created comfortable and fun programs online. Los Angeles Times City Beat
Columnist Nita Lelyveld joined us to share all the details.
"The Los Angeles Public Library system has
been offering various classes and projects for people of all ages. I went to
many literacy classes where people were improving their English or learning
English, and I saw people from all over the world participating. There were so
many different accents, and you could peak into so many other lives, and people
were taking these classes that were so eager to learn that they were standing
outside able to take these classes,” said Lelyveld.
Learning
about people’s experiences through the resources offered by the libraries was
very rewarding for Lelyveld. WATCH
