THE LAST LIBRARY TPB
Εκδότης Zaffre , ISBN 9781838774653
You can tell a lot about a person from the library books they borrow
Library assistant June knows a lot about the regulars at Chalcot Library, yet they
know very little about her. When her mum - the beloved local librarian - passed
away eight years ago, June stepped into her shoes. But despite their shared love
of books, shy June has never felt she can live up to the village's memory of her
mum. Instead, she's retreated into herself and her memories, surviving on Chinese
takeaways-for-one and rereading their favourite books at home.
When the library is threatened with closure, a ragtag band of eccentric locals
establish the Friends of Chalcot Library campaign. There's gentlemanly pensioner
Stanley, who visits the library for the computers and the crosswords, cantankerous
Mrs B, who is yet to find a book she approves of, and teenager Chantal, who just
wants a quiet place to study away from home. But can they compel reclusive June
to join their cause?
If June wants to save the library, she finally has to make some changes to her life:
opening up her heart to friendship, opportunities and maybe even more . . .
