The Nasty Lady Librarian of Shelbington: A Prequel Novella to The Enlightenment of Angeline - Paperback

by Joshua Berkov (Author)

A hilarious prequel novella to The Enlightenment of Angeline.

Southern small-town retired library director Evelyn Williams finds herself suddenly unretired when her corrupt replacement is summarily dismissed by the library's board. When Evelyn returns for her first day back on the job, she's appalled at the state she finds the library in. Books are misplaced. Tables are overturned. And to make matters worse, most of the library staff fails to show up on her first day back. With only a well-meaning but naïve temp by her side, Evelyn must contend with the challenges of restoring the library to its former glory. But, can she? Or will this job prove too difficult even for her, especially given the penchant her replacement's allies have for sabotage?

The Nasty Lady Librarian of Shelbington is a welcome return to small-town drama for fans of Joshua Berkov's first novel The Enlightenment of Angeline. Several notable characters from the novel make appearances in this novella including Angeline herself! And if you haven't read The Enlightenment of Angeline, pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of sweet tea and enjoy this introduction to the laugh-out-loud shenanigans of the residents of Shelbington, North Carolina.
