All Over the Page is a monthly evening book discussion group for adults, with a guest facilitator.

Event Details

This month we will be discussing, What you are looking for is in the library: a novel by Michiko Aoyama. The discussion will be facilitated by Elizabeth Abbott Dake. 

What are you looking for? So asks Tokyo's most enigmatic librarian. For Sayuri Komachi is able to sense exactly what each visitor to her library is searching for and provide just the book recommendation to help them find it. A restless retail assistant looks to gain new skills, a mother tries to overcome demotion at work after maternity leave, a conscientious accountant yearns to open an antique store, a recently retired salaryman searches for newfound purpose. In Komachi's unique book recommendations they will find just what they need to achieve their dreams. What You Are Looking For Is in the Library is about the magic of libraries and the discovery of connection.

Elizabeth Abbott Dake graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with a B.A. in College Scholars, an M.A. in Communication, and a Masters in Library and Information Science. A lifelong library lover, she too believes that what you are looking for can be found in the library.
