Looking for some tranquility where no one seems to be in a hurry? Head for the Beverly Hills Public Library. Besides the fact that there are more books than could ever possibly be read, the library has many other great strengths. There are more than 600 magazines and newspapers with a browsing area and a reading room. An exquisite Fine Arts Division offers thousands of videos, audiocassettes, phonorecords, books on tape, compact discs, and they've just begun a laser discs collection. The Time Tunnel is a tribute to children where everything becomes progressively child-sized, conveying a "down-the-rabbit-hole" feeling. Some of the best things in life are still free.
