What You Are Looking for Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama

What You Are Looking For Is in the Library is a collection of short stories of people who visited the Community House and who, one way or another, had stories connected to each other. The Community House is a place where people can take practical classes like flower arranging, and Excel class, and it has a library at the back.

The entire book is a short, enjoyable read that is easy for readers to relate to in their respective status in life. Surprisingly the story enables readers like me to create their own version in the end.

It is a cute and reflective way to present life's reality, and shows how the characters experience some sort of revelation as they find what they were looking for in the library. My favorite is the story with the reflecting lesson referring to a "crab race," where it says that "it was better to walk like a crab which is sideways as your view is bigger than normal."
