'The Last Library made me laugh, cry, cheer and want to champion
all of our fabulous libraries' Clare Pooley, author of The
Authenticity Project 'A truly lovely and endearing read' Nina
Pottell 'A powerful reminder about the importance of community,
kindness and friendship. A truly stunning debut' Hannah Tovey,
author of The Education of Ivy Edwards 'I adored every page'
Jessica Ryn, author of The Extraordinary Hope of Dawn Brightside 'A
sheer joy. A funny, poignant story of love, loss, self-discovery
and courage. A celebration of books and everything that makes us
human' Katie Marsh, author of My Everything 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 . . .
