If you are a lover of books and writers, you might be lucky enough to receive an invitation to interview for a job at a very special library. Otoha is invited to interview after posting on social media about her troubles finding a job in a bookstore. She's shocked and elated to be given the job at the Night Library, a small library near Tokyo dedicated to holding the collections of authors after their passing—their own writing, their favorite novels, every book they owned. For Otoha, the library is full of wonder, with secret doors, quirky patrons, and intriguing colleagues, like the award-winning chef who comes to the library to cook literary-themed meals for the patrons and staff. But it is also full of mysteries small and large; most importantly, who is the anonymous owner? As time goes by, readers will get to know Otoha, her coworkers, and the library itself in this charming Japanese cozy in the vein of Michiko Aoyama's What You Are Looking For Is in the Library (2023) and Hisashi Kashiwai's The Kamogawa Food Detectives (2024)
