June Jones emerges from her shell to fight for her beloved local library, and through the efforts and support of an eclectic group of library patrons, she discovers life-changing friendships along the way.
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. It just so happens that her old school friend Alex Chen is back in town and willing to lend a helping hand. The kindhearted lawyer's feelings for her are obvious to everyone but June, who won't believe that anyone could ever care for her in that way.
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.
June Jones emerge de su caparazón para luchar por su querida biblioteca local y, gracias a los esfuerzos y el apoyo de un grupo ecléctico de usuarios de la biblioteca, descubre amistades que le cambian la vida en el camino.
La solitaria bibliotecaria June Jones nunca ha abandonado el tranquilo pueblo inglés donde creció. Tímida y solitaria, esta treintañera prefiere pasar el tiempo enterrada en los libros que aventurarse en el mundo. Pero cuando su biblioteca corre el riesgo de cerrarse, June se ve obligada a salir de detrás de los estantes para salvar el corazón de su comunidad y el lugar que guarda los recuerdos más queridos de su madre.
June se une a un grupo de lugareños excéntricos pero dedicados en una campaña para conservar la biblioteca y se abre a otras personas por primera vez desde la muerte de su madre. Da la casualidad de que su viejo amigo de la escuela, Alex Chen, está de regreso en la ciudad y está dispuesto a echarle una mano. Los sentimientos del bondadoso abogado hacia ella son obvios para todos menos para June, quien no creerá que alguien pueda cuidarla de esa manera.
Para salvar el lugar y los libros que tanto significan para ella, June finalmente debe hacer algunos cambios en su vida. Por una vez, está decidida a no caer sin luchar. Y tal vez, al luchar por su preciada biblioteca, June también pueda salvarse a sí misma.
