Attention librarians! Award-winning author and library favorite Haruki Murakami‘s newest audiobook is, quite appropriately, about a library—and a strange one at that.
In THE STRANGE LIBRARY, a lonely boy, a mysterious girl, and a tormented sheep man must plot their escape from a nightmarish library that can only come from Murakami’s wild imagination. Newly added to our Fall 2014 list, this audiobook is not to be missed!
