James J. Brown Auditorium

IN PERSON

Between life and death there is a library.  While her life has been filled with sorrow and regret, Nora Seed suddenly finds herself in the Midnight Library with the chance to make things right. The books in the Midnight Library enable Nora to live as if she had made different choices - the right choices - all along. With the help of an old friend, she can undo every regret and build a perfect life. But things aren't always what she imagined and soon her choices place the library and herself in extreme danger.  The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.
