How to Save a Library

Casey is tired of always being the new kid at school. Now, for the first time in Casey’s life, he finally feels settled—that is until his dad’s job at the library is threatened.

Every year Casey’s life seems to be boxed up and shipped to a new city. His dad thinks moving is an adventure, but at this point, Casey is so over adventure. In Armstrong’s Point, Casey’s life finally feels stable. His talent on the soccer field has made him a natural fit with the popular kids and he loves the apartment he shares with his dad. But when Casey discovers the local library, where his dad works, is in need of extensive restorative repairs, his future once again feels uncertain.

In order to save the one place in the world that feels like home, Casey joins the Kids Community Action Network (C.A.N) where his team will compete for community funding. Unfortunately, this means working with Addison—a former friend turned not-so-friend—who isn’t going to make it easy on him. Award-winning author Colleen Nelson weaves together a story of heart and humor, highlighting the power of libraries to bring communities together.
