In a San Diego News Network piece about plans to include a charter school in the city's Central Library project, commentator Murtaza Baxamusa had this to say: "Now, I love libraries, but there is one library that I particularly recall; the Leavey Library at USC. This was a brand new library with expansive spaces, and classical architecture, meant to be the central library of the downtown Los Angeles campus of USC. It housed some of the more general interest subjects, so you could always wander into a stack of books and pick up something interesting. What made Leavey impressionable though, was that it was not just a library, it was the place to be." Keep reading for more from Baxamusa about Leavey.
