Español: En el corazón de Tokio hay una pequeña biblioteca donde trabaja la señora Komachi. Teclea en su ordenador a velocidad de vértigo y en sus momentos de ocio crea pequeñas figuras de fieltro que luego regala a los visitantes más especiales, a los que les pregunta: «¿Qué es lo que buscas?». La respuesta parece sencilla, pero la señora Komachi no es como otros bibliotecarios. Ella puede adivinar cuáles son los sueños, los deseos y los pesares de la persona a la que escucha. Y es así como una recomendación suya les puede cambiar la vida. Solo hace falta que se entreguen a la lectura de un libro inesperado. La biblioteca de los nuevos comienzos es una oda al poder de los libros que nos enseña que, si se escucha con el corazón y se tiende una mano amiga, todos podemos alcanzar nuestros sueños. English: What are you looking for? This is the famous question routinely asked by Tokyo’s most enigmatic librarian, Sayuri Komachi. Like most librarians, Komachi has read every book lining her shelves—but she also has the unique ability to read the souls of her library guests. For anyone who walks through her door, Komachi can sense exactly what they’re looking for in life and provide just the book recommendation they never knew they needed to help them find it. Each visitor comes to her library from a different juncture in their careers and dreams, from the restless sales attendant who feels stuck at her job to the struggling working mother who longs to be a magazine editor. The conversation that they have with Sayuri Komachi—and the surprise book she lends each of them—will have life-altering consequences. With heartwarming charm and wisdom, What You Are Looking For Is in the Library is a paean to the magic of libraries, friendship and community, perfect for anyone who has ever found themselves at an impasse in their life and in need of a little inspiration.
