The Library: A Novel by Joyce Fay Fletcher
|
Welcome to the unpredictable world of Washington D.C.’s Sojourner Truth Regional Library where the psychiatric hospital and homeless shelters drop off clients every day. Driven by addictions, obsessions and temptations of all kinds, library staff and patrons alike fill each workday with its share of scandal and drama. Anthony Broadnax, an impulsive young crack-addicted circulation desk technician, is accused of assault and theft at a smaller branch. He must report to Sojourner Truth while his case is being investigated. Assistant regional library manager, Jackie Ramsey, declares all-out war against her underhanded and ambitious rival, Brian Cole. Brian, however, is trapped in a web spun by his irresistible attraction to Jackie’s best friend.
Ursula Swann is an industrious, straight-laced reference librarian who is wearing herself out trying to keep order in a branch spiraling out of control. Will she succeed in saving Sojourner Truth Regional, or will her own secret Dewey demons drive her mad? Check out this fresh urban library adventure that you will never forget!
