LIFE SEARCH

We continue our "books everyone should read" theme on June 29 with a book about the power of reading and individual interpretation:

What You Are Looking For Is in the Library, by Michiko Aoyama

“...it was like a breath of fresh air, and it uplifted the mood, and it makes us see the world in a beautiful light.” -Vishy’s Blog

In a quiet Tokyo library, a reserved librarian offers each visitor a single, carefully chosen book - one that seems unremarkable at first, yet has a way of surfacing exactly what they’ve been missing. Across five loosely connected lives - a retail worker, an aspiring shop owner, a new mother, an aimless artist, and a newly retired man - this book explores how small shifts in perspective can quietly reshape a life, with a tone that is thoughtful, uplifting, and deeply comforting.

To prepare for future meetings, we will be reading Kin, by Tayari Jones for our July 27 meeting.
