Description
Photograph of children reading books in the library of the Solano Avenue School, [s.d.]. Thirteen children are pictured in a small reading room, each bowing their head down to a book, except for a single child in the center background who looks out the window. At center, a table holds extra books and brings together four students, while other students sit in surrounding chairs. "Informality is the keynote of many of the classes for members of the lower elementary grades in Los Angeles City schools. Above is a view in the library at the Solano Avenue school, where children are encouraged to do independent reading" -- unknown author.
