You can tell a lot about a person from the library books they borrow. Library assistant June knows a lot about the regulars at Chalcot Library, yet they know very little about her. When her mum - the beloved local librarian - passed away eight years ago, June stepped into her shoes. But despite their shared love of books, shy June has never felt she can live up to the village's memory of her mum. Instead, she's retreated into herself and her memories. When the library is threatened with closure, a ragtag band of eccentric locals establish the Friends of Chalcot Library campaign.
