Sayuri Komachi, a wise and kind-natured librarian, works in the library of the Hatori Community House, where she greets patrons with a seemingly ordinary question: "What are you looking for?" Librarian Komachi gently guides five library guests through their personal problems, from a twenty-one-year old sales assistant who feels stuck in her career to a retiree who doesn't know what to do with his newfound freedom. Endearingly relatable, this Japanese novel is deeply personal and heartwarming.
