The Memory of Borrowed Books

By Anderson, Meg

First published 2026

A sweeping, magical ode to community and the stories we leave behind, The Memory of Borrowed Books follows one librarian who discovers a hidden room of unfinished memories―and must find the one that can save her beloved library from closing forever. Perfect for fans of Evie Woods and How to Read a Book. Ready for readers daring enough to finally discover the truth. In the coastal town of Foxhollow Bay, librarian Claire Ashford keeps her life as meticulously ordered as the centuries-old library she calls home. But when the town announces plans to shut it down, her sanctuary, and the life she's built within its walls, begins to crumble. One night, while wandering the stacks after hours, Claire discovers a door that shouldn't exist. And behind it lies a secret room filled with books no one else can see. Each book pulls her into the memories of those who have passed through the library's doors―moments half-lived and stories left unfinished. Buried within these pages is a message the library has been trying to share, urging Claire to uncover the path to saving it. With the demolition looming and time running out, Claire must piece together what the library is trying to show her.
