Description
Otoha Higuchi was not one for academia; all she wanted out of life was to be around books. But she has yet to find a job that’s just the right fit. That is, until she receives a mysterious invitation from the Night Library to apply for an opening. This wasn’t like anything she had ever seen, with books by late authors on display and not available for checkout by patrons. Finally, Otoha feels at home. But her new job is threatened when strange happenings occur that could mean the end of the Night Library.
This reads as a love letter to the love of reading and literature, with a library only accessible at night and featuring books on display. Entering the Night Library feels like walking into a book museum where everyone is welcome. Otoha finds a place for herself in the quirkiness and charm of the library, and among the staff who share the same interests as her. Strange occurrences threaten the joy and peace the library brings, creating an underlying mystery that builds up for a delightful final episode. Dinner at the Night Library is character-centric with snappy dialogue, a charming mystery, and a fun assortment of characters who bring with them humorous situations.
