The Library by Bella Osborne is a kind of coming of age story of a teenage boy who befriends an older woman. Due to a tense relationship with his father, the teenage boy ends up living with the older woman and helping her on the sheep farm. How did the two meet? Through the library, of course. I loved seeing how the library is such an important part of people young and old in a rather small community. I like the whole idea of a community coming together to save a public space, be it the pool, the library or anything else.
 

This novel is basically about a small town, sheep, unlikely friendships, a library that needs saving, and becoming better because we live in community. I enjoyed it a lot!

I received a free copy of the e-book of this novel from the publisher via Net Galley. All thoughts expressed here are my own.
