Some people borrow books from the library.
Benjamin Kalinowski does something… different.

In the quiet town of St. Isidore, Benjamin Kalinowski follows a simple routine. Twice a week he walks to the public library and returns with his arms stacked high with books.

Young Adam King, a fellow book lover, begins to notice. And the more he sees Mr. Kalinowski carrying those towering stacks of books home, the more he wonders what the quiet old man is doing with them.

When Adam finally uncovers the truth, he realizes it’s far more remarkable than he ever imagined—and it will shape the way he thinks about books for the rest of his life.

Inspired by a true story, Bookworm is a warm and charming tale about libraries, the people who love them, and the quiet ways a passion for reading can pass from one generation to another.

You’ll also find three additional stories filled with humor and unexpected moments, including:

• The Undertaker’s Son
• A woman climbing a tree for a very questionable late-night visit
• A boy on the ground who makes a phone call that changes everything
• And a man, a monkey, and an unexpected moment of clarity

Perfect for readers who believe libraries are special places and books deserve to be loved for a lifetime.
