'Giving something back' as millionaire actors with cash flowing out their ears so often find themselves doing, Leonardo DiCaprio has funded a computer centre at the Los Feliz Branch Library which has been constructed on the land where the star's home one stood. Donned with posters of the Titanic star, The Leonardo DiCaprio Computer Centre as it is imaginatively titled, contains seven terminals with software to help students with maths, language and study skills, library spokesman Peter Persic said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the branch. DiCaprio and his family - longtime residents of the Los Feliz neighborhood - shelled out $35,000 to fund the computer centre, though neglected to show up for the opening. "There are lots of books about Leonardo DiCaprio on the shelves," said Persic, "but I doubt they'll stay there for long."
