The Library by Bella Osborne

Two different generations. Two unusual people. Thrown together to save their local library.
Tom is a teenager and blends into the background of life. After a row with his dad, and facing an unhappy future at the dog food factory, he escapes to the library. Tom unwittingly ends up with a bagful of romance novels and comes under the suspicion of Maggie.

Maggie is a pensioner and has been happily alone for ten years, at least that’s what she tells herself. When Tom comes to her rescue, a friendship develops that could change her life. As Maggie helps Tom to stand up for himself, Tom helps Maggie realise the mistakes of her past don’t have to define her future.

They each set out to prove that the library isn’t just about books – it’s the heart of their community.

BOOK REVIEW

I absolutely loved “The Library” by Bella Osborne. It was such a heartwarming story that touched my soul. The two main characters, Tom and Maggie, are from different generations but their friendship proves that age doesn’t matter when it comes to helping others.

Tom, who is facing a bleak future, finds solace in the library and unintentionally ends up with romance novels, leading to an unlikely friendship with Maggie. Maggie, a pensioner, has been alone for ten years and doesn’t think much of herself. But as she helps Tom stand up for himself, she discovers her own worth and that her past doesn’t define her future.

Their mission to save their local library shows that books are not the only thing that libraries offer – they are a hub of the community. Osborne does an amazing job of showcasing the importance of libraries and the need to fight for them.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a heartwarming story of friendship and fighting for what is important. Five stars from me!
