A photograph of a young reader, probably a boy, at Hollywood library. The boy is seated in a chair and is holding a copy of 'Hot Rod' magazine. The magazine is blocking the view of the reader's face. Lying next to the boy on a table and the floor are some newspapers spread open. The flooring is black-and-white checkerboard pattern. In the background is a sparse rhododendron bush against a white wall seen through large windows that begin at the floor.
