2023 book 141

 Michiko Aoyama's What You Are Looking For is in the Library

This is a very chill and pleasant series of interconnected short stories all set in the same neighborhood in Japan, where a variety of discontent people find their way to the local Community Center and its library, where the librarian recommends them books that help them make changes in their lives. I found this very enjoyable and mildly soothing, but not overly cheesy/heartwarming. It also made me want to try needle-felting! A-.
