“The Paris Library”
by Janet Skeslien Charles
Saturday, April 9, 2022
1:30 PM
A New York Times, Washington Post, and USA TODAY bestseller — this novel is based on the true story of the heroic librarians at the American Library in Paris during the occupation in World War II.
"Having lived in an apartment just above the current location of the American Library in Paris, I've always felt connected to the institution and wondered about its story, so I'm grateful to Janet Skeslien Charles for penning such a vivid, enjoyable, based-on-a-true-story tale. In "The Paris Library", the beloved library, its staff, and its subscribers come to life and remind us of both the horrors of World War II and the vital role books play in keeping us afloat in difficult times. Well-researched, stirring, and rich with detail, "The Paris Library" is an ode to the importance of libraries, books, and the human connections we find within both." -Kristin Harmel.
