Intended for YA, but I liked it, too. Set around 1914 with interesting girls as characters. Rich college girls (who drive!) come to a small Indiana town to interview for the job as librarian. One of the visitors takes an interest in the central character, Peewee. Turns town-girl Peewee from a grease-monkey mechanic to a girly-girl who can fix a car while wearing a lavender tea dress. Well, formerly lavender. The visitor also arranges a few events that change the lives of several people.
Charming story. This would be an excellent choice for a young lady who is interested in cars and racing cars. Nice epilog set 60+ years in the future (1978) so we learn what happened to the characters.

I love Richard Peck. Every one of his books that I read seems funnier and more brilliant than the last, and Here lies the Librarian was no exception. His books make me laugh out loud, and as a huge bonus both of my parents (in their 60's) enjoyed it as well. I highly recommend this book and author!
