A New York Times best seller and librarian favorite that will appeal to shojo and non-shojo fans alike!
In the near future, the federal government creates a committee to rid society of books it deems unsuitable. The libraries vow to protect their collections, and with the help of local governments, form a military group to defend themselves--the Library Forces!
Iku Kasahara has dreamed of joining the Library Forces ever since one of its soldiers stepped in to protect her favorite book from being confiscated in a bookstore when she was younger. But now that she’s finally a recruit, she’s finding her dream job to be a bit of a nightmare. Especially since her hard-hearted drill instructor seems to have it in for her!
Library Wars is a manga set slightly in the future as the government tries to restrict what books are available while,libraries try and stop them. As a librarian that is totally something I could,get behind. In many ways it's also much like what our government is doing in regards to the Internet ATM too which made it interesting. Took me a bit to get into it but because it's been so long since I've read manga I for some reason struggled with the HOW to read it. Once I got back into the groove it was enjoyable and I'm looking forward to reading the second volume
