Text from newspaper caption: Reading Rooms Popular With Many During Winter Months: This view of the newspaper reading room at the Public Library shows a few of the hundreds of readers who use the files daily. As winter approaches, the number increases until capacity is reached during rainy season. Some come to read home-town paper, some to seek a job through the classified ads, still others to kill an hour [Los Angeles Times, 9/27/1937]
