Perfect for fans of Evie Woods and How to Read a Book. In the coastal town of Foxhollow Bay, librarian Claire Ashford keeps her life as meticulously ordered as the centuries-old library she calls home. But when the town announces plans to shut it down, her sanctuary, and the life she's built within its walls, begins to crumble. One night, while wandering the stacks after hours, Claire discovers a door that shouldn't exist. And behind it lies a secret room filled with books no one else can see. Each book pulls her into the memories of those who have passed through the library's doors--moments half-lived and stories left unfinished. Buried within these pages is a message the library has been trying to share, urging Claire to uncover the path to saving it. With the demolition looming and time running out, Claire must piece together what the library is trying to show her. But one book keeps calling her back, and in its pages is a memory that could change everything. One that reveals the key to saving the library may be tangled in her own memories more than she ever could have imagined. An ode to the power of community and hope, The Memory of Borrowed Books is a sweeping story about what's at stake when the places we love--and the memories they hold--are threatened. A reminder that what we fight to preserve just might be the very thing that saves us in return"-- ‡cProvided by publisher.
