Twitter Tuesday is a weekly feature that looks back at the USC Libraries' conversations in the Twitterverse. You can follow the USC Libraries on Twitter at @USCLibraries. Keep reading for selected Twitter conversations from the past week, including one about an early design sketch for the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.
USC's official Twitter account forwarded us a question from one of its followers:
USCedu: @USCLibraries RT @DaleSaundersIII: @uscedu is there any news about remodeling or renovating Leavey Library?
USCLibraries: @USCedu @DaleSaundersIII Not at the moment for Leavey, though just completed renovation in Science and Engineering Lib.
USCedu: @USCLibraries Thanks for responding :)
A Twitter user linked to an archived page on our website about the death of the classic film actress Thelma Todd:
pinkpetalz: Beautiful Thelma Todd is #classicmovie star of day on #tcm. Funny actress but a tragic life.
USCLibraries: Mysterious death at PCH cafe of Thelma Todd, today's #tcm #classicmovie star of the day: /via @pinkpetalz #la #history

One of our daily images from the USC Digital Library sparked comments from a couple followers:
USCLibraries: Sketch of L.A. Sports Arena, released #onthisday in 1956. Arena was home to Lakers, Clippers, and (briefly) Kings. https://twitpic.com/2ier59
