Giant Pop-Up Book Breaks Records at LA Library | California News
Description
A colossal 31-foot-wide pop-up book, “Luceros y Penumbras,” has arrived at LA’s Central Library—setting a world record and celebrating the library’s 100th year. Created by artist Daniel González and paper engineer Matthew Reinhart, this 1,800-pound masterpiece blends childhood wonder, Mexican heritage, and library history, featuring pop-up scenes of the San Gabriel River, Tongva Tribe, and Octavia Butler. Built by 30+ artisans over months, turning its pages requires 12 people with padded poles. On display through mid-November, it’s a dazzling tribute to stories, imagination, and the magic of libraries—big enough to make you feel like a kid again.
