Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week I’m featuring a heartwarming series, The Library Girls of the East End by Patricia McBride.

My Summary of The East End Library Girls Series:

The East End of London is an area of high poverty and illiteracy. (Lady) Cordelia’s mother discourages Cordelia from taking a head librarian position at Silver Town Library. However, Cordelia is determined to work as a librarian and to make a difference in the lives of people during difficult times. Along with her colleagues, Mavis and Jane, the young women begin to make a difference in the community through books and services. Despite air raids and rationing, the library becomes the beating heart of the community. Cordelia, Mavis, and Jane see each other through difficult times as war strikes closer to home.
