Related: About this forumBOOKS FOR A RAINY DAY: 9 COZY FICTION BOOKS SET IN LIBRARIES
https://bookriot.com/cozy-novels-set-in-libraries/amp/While I love reading for enjoyment and escapism, one of my favorite reasons I turn to books is for comfort. Cozy books are a balm for tired souls. When I read a cozy novel, I feel like Im getting cocooned in a safe space. The real world and its stressors fade away. In its place, I explore quaint towns, meet charismatic characters, and immerse in uplifting themes of friendship and love. The only way a cozy book can get any cozier is if you throw in a library as the setting. Cozy novels set in libraries are just my cup of tea. Theyre books brimming with more books, after all. Theyre like mint chocolate chip ice cream with extra chocolate chips on top. Gimme all the chocolate chips, and gimme all the books about books.
I think we could all use a few more cozy books about libraries in our lives. If youre looking for some comforting reads this fall, check out these sweet books below. Do you have a favorite cozy library read?
Some apparent great books on this list!

Enjoy!

With a good book, a hot beverage, a cat on my lap, in front of a cozy fire.
Note: Also good for snow days.
