What are you trying to find?
Sayuri Komachi, the most mysterious librarian in Tokyo, is famed for asking this famous question on a regular basis. In addition to having read every book on her shelves, Komachi, like other librarians, has the unusual gift of being able to read the souls of those who visit her library. Komachi has the ability to feel what each person entering her door is searching for in life and can suggest the perfect book—one they wouldn't have known they needed—to help them discover it.
Every person who visits her library is at a different stage in their professional and personal development. Some are restless salespeople who feel trapped in their current roles, while others are struggling mothers who have always wanted to edit magazines. Their chat with Sayuri Komachi will have a profound impact on their lives, as will the unexpected book she gives each of them.
What You Are Looking For Is in the Library is a heartfelt tribute to the power of libraries, friendship, and community, filled with wisdom and endearing charm. It's the ideal read for anybody who has ever reached a crossroads in life and needed a little motivation.
