Story description
A small branch library, a squeaky trolley and a town that comes in for books and stays for company.
The Little Library is an interactive slice-of-life story about running a small town library, one quiet day at a time.
The town's living room
- Open up, shelve, run storytime and keep the book club from splitting.
- Help people fill in forms, find books nobody has heard of and get a toddler's first library card.
- Learn the town through what its people borrow, and what they come in to avoid.
Winnie, eighty, guards the Dewey system with a pencil. Ines does her homework here and does not read here. Mr. Dalgleish has an opinion about the crossword. Everyone else is different every time you play.
Warm, gentle and lightly funny
Dust motes, paper and kindness. No plot, no villain.
The key is in the door and the sunlight is coming in sideways. What do you do first?
