Program Description

This month we will be reading and discussing "The Last Chance Library" by Freya Sampson.

Lonely librarian June Jones has never left the sleepy English village where she grew up. Shy and reclusive, the thirty-year-old would rather spend her time buried in books than venture out into the world. But when her library is threatened with closure, June is forced to emerge from behind the shelves to save the heart of her community and the place that holds the dearest memories of her mother. Joining a band of eccentric yet dedicated locals in a campaign to keep the library, June opens herself up to other people for the first time since her mother died. To save the place and the books that mean so much to her, June must finally make some changes to her life. For once, she's determined not to go down without a fight. And maybe, in fighting for her cherished library, June can save herself, too.

"The Last Chance Library" is available through our catalog, and as an eAudiobook through Cloudlibrary. Please visit our front desk or call 941-861-1744 to reserve a copy of the book.

We will be meeting in-person in the Shannon Staub Library Conference Room.
