Corriveau,

Lily
Willard seems to have mixed feelings about her job as town librarian
in Cabot Fields Vermont. On one hand she loves "... to be
surrounded each and every day by books!" (p. 30). On the other
hand the job offers little excitement. The same doddering old-timers
come every day to escape the heat of summer and reread books about
the Civil War.
When
other interests crowd Lily's attention she tends to open the library
late and close early. The town Board of Selectmen decide to fire her
because of this, but later they are forced to rehire Lily when a
suitable replacement cannot be found.
