J’adore #BookFaceFriday!

It’s the last week of September and the 2023 Library Card Sign Up Month, but that doesn’t mean your love and appreciation for libraries has to end. It’s easy to forget what a gift libraries are until it’s all taken away. This week’s title is a thrilling historical fiction novel about WWII France and the necessity of libraries and the knowledge they safeguard, “The Librarian of Saint-Malo” by Mario Escobar (‎Thomas Nelson, 2021) is available as both an Audiobook. Find all the library-themed books in our “Library Card Sign Up Month” collection. There are 200 titles in the collection all about those bookish reads, and even better you can check them out with your library card!

“In Escobar’s gripping latest (after Remember Me), a young woman risks everything to save a library in Saint-Malo, France, during WWII . . . This is a powerful portrait of a woman fighting to preserve knowledge in a crumbling world.’”
