Last Chance Library

June Jones lives in Chalcot, the sleepy village she grew up in . . . the village she's barely ever left. Throughout her childhood, she was either buried in a book or arm-in-arm with her Mum - her best friend and Chalcot's beloved local librarian.

When her mother grew ill, June put her own life on hold to take charge of the library. Now, years since her Mum's death, June has retreated further and further into herself and her memories, surviving on Chinese takeaways for one and rereading their favourite books at home.

But when the council announces it wants to close the library, a reluctant and reclusive June is forced to join a ragtag band of pensioners and eccentric locals who establish the Friends of Chalcot Library campaign to keep it open. And it just so happens that June's old school friend Alex Chen is back in Chalcot to help his poorly father, and he's more than willing to lend a helping hand.

June can't face the idea of losing her job and the place that holds the dearest memories of her mum, so it's time for her to finally make some changes to her life and protect the library. Because maybe, in fighting to save her community, the community, and Alex, can save June, too.
