First draft
The Last Borrower
In Dundee, a quietly falling-apart public library is preparing for partial closure, and Mara Bell has been asked to help sort what should be kept, sold, or quietly lost. As she works through donated books, old catalogue cards, and the habits of the people who still come in every week, she begins to see that the building holds a history the council would rather treat as paperwork.
