Jacob Yardley thinks he's doing the right thing by building a new affordable housing development. Why shouldn't local people be able to buy a house in the place they grew up? Having to leave his own small hometown broke his heart. Plus, people don't really use libraries anymore, do they? As Elsie and Jacob clash over the future of the library, sparks begin to fly. Jacob is falling back in love with books and libraries — could he possibly be falling for her too? And will Elsie be able to save the library that means so much to her?
