After going viral last week for their performance of Racist, Sexist Boy, tween riot grrrl band the Linda Lindas have scored themselves a record deal with Epitaph.
Last year, the punk quartet formed by Mila (age 10), Eloise (13), Lucia (14) and Bela (16) independently released their debut self-titled EP, before going on to cameo in Amy Poehler s riot grrrl-themed Netflix movie,
Moxie. This month, the group rose to viral fame for their AAPI Heritage Month event at the L.A. Public Library, though according to Epitaph, the band were already on the label s radar several months before that.
She should know. Her 2018 bestseller, “The Library Book,” focused on the unthinkable: the 1986 fire that destroyed much of the collection of the Los Angeles Central Library. In the course of researching the book, Orlean, a library patron since childhood, discovered the long and rich history of libraries in the United States and around the world.
Orlean will be “in town” for a virtual discussion with retired Herald-Tribune journalist Charlie Huisking on Feb. 9 in a free event sponsored by the Library Foundation for Sarasota County. The prerecorded event will be available for viewing for 30 days.
It’s part of a whirlwind of library foundation appearances, live and remote, that Orlean has done since “The Library Book” was published.
