For anyone who walks through her door, Komachi can sense exactly what they’re looking for in life and provide just the book recommendation they never knew they needed to help them find it.

The conversation that they have with Sayuri Komachi—and the surprise book she lends each of them—will have life-altering consequences. With heartwarming charm and wisdom, *What You Are Looking For Is in the Library* is a paean to the magic of libraries, friendship and community, perfect for anyone who has ever found themselves at an impasse in their life and in need of a little inspiration.
