Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
A woman dressed in a checkered suit and white hat stands outside of a bookmobile window as a man sitting inside, possibly the librarian, points toward the title of a book she is holding. This "traveling Branch" bookmobile parked along Grand Avenue was actually a New York Public Library Bookmobile, which participated in the 1930 American Library Association convention held at the Los Angeles Public Library's Central Library. The Biltmore Hotel can be seen in the background.
