 g></p>\n<p>With the emotional resonance of&nbsp\;<em>How to Read a Book</e
 m>&nbsp\;and the magical edge of&nbsp\;<em>The Lost Bookshop</em>&nbsp\;co
 mes a stunning ode to community following one librarian who discovers a my
 sterious room with shelves of her patron's unfinished memories\, and the o
 ne memory that might save both herself\, and her library\, from disappeari
 ng forever.</p>\n<p>In the New England coastal town of Foxhollow Bay\, lib
 rarian Claire Ashford lives quietly tucked away in the centuries old libra
 ry where she works\, keeping all things\, herself included\, in order. But
  when the town threatens to shut down the library\, Claire is bereft to kn
 ow her safe haven will be no more. That's when\, while wandering the shelv
 es after hours\, she finds a door that shouldn't exist\, and behind it\, a
  room filled with books that no one else can see.</p>\n<p>Every book she o
 pens pulls her into someone else&rsquo\;s memory. Unfinished stories and s
 nippets of lives that have passed through the library long before her. And
  when she opens a book showing her a bridge with a figure standing in the 
 center\, the memory refuses to let go\, calling to her in a way that she c
 annot explain. And when she meets Julian Thomas\, a patron who sketches th
 e same bridge she&rsquo\;s been seeing\, she realizes their lives may be t
 angled in ways neither of them fully understands.</p>\n<p>With time runnin
 g out and the library on the brink of being demolished\, Claire must confr
 ont what she&rsquo\;s spent years trying to erase\, the memory she has loc
 ked away that is fighting to get out\, before the truth and the library it
 self are gone forever.<br />&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>EVENT DETAILS</strong>
