HBL Note: When I ask authors about the moment they knew they wanted to be a writer, a common answer among those who’ve known a long time is some variation on reading books at a library as a kid. Libraries hold a special place in the hearts of readers. THE LAST CHANCE LIBRARY by Freya Sampson taps into that love we have for libraries in her debut novel (whoohoo!) about a librarian determined to save her beloved library when it is threatened with closure. Described as perfect for fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, this book is the book for book-lovers. Scroll down to read more.

From the publisher:
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.
