This is a very sweet set of gentle vignettes about people who are living unfulfilled lives in various ways. They take different paths but wind up at the community center’s library where an odd librarian gives them some reading suggestions and a small felted item. They each view this librarian in slightly different ways which reveals something about their characters. These things help them get unstuck. The vignettes overlap barely but subtly in fun little ways. Anyone who has done library work will enjoy these calm stories that go good directions. I was told later that books like this, with gentle themes and sort of soft approaches are called “cat books” and that makes a whole lot of sense to me. I’ll seek more of them out.
