The Library Girls of the East End

When Cordelia accepts the post of head librarian in Silver Town Library, her mother is more than a little disapproving. But Cordelia is determined to make a difference in these times of strife, along with her colleagues, Jane and Mavis. Against a background of war, air raids and rationing, it becomes clear the library is more than a building filled with books - it is the beating heart of a community refusing to be torn apart.
