The Last Chance Library by Freya Sampson

June works at the Chalcot Library, where her mother was the librarian before dying of cancer eight years ago. The library has become June's life since she put off going to university to take care of her mom. She has a special relationship with a lot of the patrons and when the library is threatened with closure, they take it upon themselves to create a campaign to keep it open. However, June has to join the group in secret because she's told not to get involved or she could lose her job. Slowly June begins to find her voice and meaning in her life. The Last Chance Library is a perfect read-alike for Jenny Colgan's The Bookshop on the Corner and Richard Roper's How Not to Die Alone.
