What are you looking for?

So asks Tokyo's most enigmatic librarian, Sayuri Komachi.

But she is no ordinary librarian.

Sensing exactly what someone is searching for in life, she provides just the book recommendation to help them find it.

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?

Awaiting your visit is a special library where every patron encounters the perfect book… Called one of 2023’s 10 best feel-good books by the Washington Post, this international sensation and “undeniable page-turner” (The New York Times Book Review) is “a celebration of community, connection, and the transformative power of libraries” (Booklist).
