A Nerd Girl’s Adventure to “The Last Bookstore”

[divider type=”space_thin”] Hey y’all! Another entry in this A Nerd Girl’s Adventure for your pleasure! Last time the adventure was a quirky but educational app focusing on Type-2 diabetes featuring a fellow Black girl named Emily. This time I ventured to The Last Bookstore located on Spring Street in Downtown Los Angeles. It’s a building which houses many, many books: old and new. It also houses a little bit of everything for everyone and part of the adventure is taking the plunge, entering this place and finding out just what strikes your fancy. Started in 2005, this unique bookstore is not only one of California’s biggest bookstores but also boasts that it is one of the biggest independent bookstores in the world still standing. What’s Special About It: One reason why this place is so appealing is because of the many art installations within. There is art everywhere here. Art pieces and installations decorate nearly every inch of the store. Speaking of art installations, there are several using books — actual books — to create an arch, wide enough for several people to walk through, that tunnels you further into the room. Another installation is a shelf covered in books with an opening in the middle where you can look out, touch the shoulder of a friend, and even pose for a photo. It forces you to interact with others — with your friends or total strangers.
