About Susan Orlean

Heralded as “a national treasure” by The Washington Post, Ms. Orlean’s newest release, The Library Book, was an instant New York Times bestseller. A breathtaking exploration of the history, power, and future of libraries, The Library Book was named a top book by The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Goodreads Book Club Picks. Ms. Orlean’s 1998 book, The Orchid Thief, inspired the Academy Award-winning film Adaptation, and she is a long-time staff writer at The New Yorker, and a former contributing editor at Rolling Stone and Vogue.

About the branch

Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.

The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
