The Branch, by Eugene Lim
The author of The Branch is a librarian, and the conceit of the library as a central experience is very much the focus here. You go there for answers, for therapy, for a religious experience, to disconnect. Nice try, and I think libraries will actually continue to be relevant in a way like this but less over the top. But this is a bit overdone.
