Book Discussion: What You Are Looking For Is in the Library
This event is in the past
Over the next four weeks, read What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama, then meet with others to share thoughts and impressions in a librarian-led discussion.
What are you looking for? So asks Tokyo’s most enigmatic librarian. For Sayuri Komachi is able to sense exactly what each visitor to her library is searching for and provide just the book recommendation to help them find it. A restless retail assistant looks to gain new skills, a mother tries to overcome demotion at work after maternity leave, a conscientious accountant yearns to open an antique store, a recently retired salaryman searches for newfound purpose. In Komachi’s unique book recommendations they will find just what they need to achieve their dreams. "What You Are Looking For Is in the Library" is about the magic of libraries and the discovery of connection. This inspirational tale shows how, by listening to our hearts, seizing opportunity and reaching out, we too can fulfill our lifelong dreams.
