This year’s library Christmas celebration will be one for the books. Alexander Adams, Woolsey’s only librarian, needs to take a few days off work for back surgery. But leaving the library in the hands of another, regardless of her qualifications, is not something he’s about to take lightly. He goes by the book in more ways than one, and he expects the same of anyone else. April Gardner has returned home with her service dog, Frank, and she is the perfect person to fill in at the library. However, this transition will be anything but smooth. April is the complete opposite of Alexander, including her plans for the library’s annual Christmas celebration. But when the residents of Woolsey notice April’s ideas are the much-needed facelift for the library, they decide maybe it’s time to replace Alexander. Yet, April is not looking to take his job. She has bigger dreams than the small town can offer and wants to help Alexander if only he would stop being such a bah humbug. Can these two work together and put on a library Christmas celebration to remember?
