Here Lies the Librarian

This is an okay book written by Richard Peck. Peewee idolizes her older brother Jake, whose mechanical skills are suddenly in demand when roads and cars start to link their small Indiana town to the rest of the state. The local librarian recently died, essentially shutting down the town’s library. Now a search is out to find an educated replacement. Peewee is a 14-year-old girl who is expected to start attending high school, but she would rather stay away and have fun!
