The Library at the Edge of the World by Felicity Hayes-McCoy
4.0

“It seemed to him that half the fun of a library was stumbling on treasures by chance...”

Given how I found this novel accidentally, I think the quote above is apt. I wasn’t looking for another book about libraries, but this one found me. I am not sorry.

The plot is nothing new. There is an unhappy bookmobile librarian, a community that has lost its center and then there is the threat from the local government. Hayes-McCoy takes some shop-worn ideas and makes them her own. While I was reading I was having a good time. I wanted the good guys to win and of course they did.

This was not a romance, but it satisfied my desire for a happily ever after. Given the world we are living in this book is a win.
