Although I love relaxing in front of the TV, a constant diet of reruns and reality TV shows can get to me.
Enter the ALOUD series presented by the Los Angeles Central Public (630 W. Fifth Street).The award-winning ALOUD at Central Library series is an amazing source of lectures, readings, performances, and conversations featuring key figures in the arts and humanities, business, politics, and science.
ALOUD programs take place at the Los Angeles Central Library's Mark Taper Auditorium. If you make reservations, show up EARLY. Here's why: even with a reservation system, it is the Library's policy to overbook. (guess they have learned about flaky Angelenos who make plans and don't show.) In the case of a FULL program, your reservation may not guarantee admission. Unclaimed reservations are released at the start of each program. So again, get there early!
Most programs are free, but check admission costs online.
Parking --Best bet is the Westlawn garage located under the central library. Cars entering after 3pm can park for a flat rate of $1.00 (with library validation)
Making the trip downtown too daunting? Good news: they archive the series on their website, so although you can't see the current programming there is P L E N T Y to choose from. Now that is truly Cheap & Cheerful!
