An inspirational tale of the love, comfort and growth you can find in the pages of a good book. What are you looking for? So asks Tokyo's most enigmatic librarian. But she is no ordinary librarian.

We meet five visitors to the library, each at a different crossroads:

- The restless retail assistant eager to pick up new skills

- The mother faced with a demotion at work after maternity leave

- The conscientious accountant who yearns to open an antique store

- The gifted young manga artist in search of motivation

- The recently retired salaryman on a quest for newfound purpose

Can she help them find what they are looking for? Which book will you recommend?
