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!
When the director of the Kanto Library Base gets sick, a temporary replacement is assigned, according to regulations. But Iku and her roommate Asako discover a trail of missing books that leads back to the temporary director. Has he betrayed everything the Library Forces stand for and handed books over to the enemy?!
I have to say that this series wins me over each time I read a book from the Library Wars series. In this book, the Library Forces crew has to save their libraries and books from within their own ranks! It was hard to believe that one of their own was sabotaging them. I also loved where Iku is heading. A think a bit of a love triangle has been introduced but I'm not 100% certain. I'll have to continue with the series to find out!
This series is fun and not too serious. It's about protecting books from government censure. I have enjoyed both of the books that I have read in the series so far and I plan on continuing with it.
