Welcome to Bookends, a collaboration between Greenfield Public Library and Greenfield Community College. We meet four times a year to read and discuss books that appeal to a wide range of ages from teen to senior citizen. Our goal is to bring readers of different generations and backgrounds together and spark conversations that unite our community.

A woman trapped between life and death finds herself in a mystical library where each book offers a glimpse into a different life she could have lived. Guided by her childhood librarian, she explores alternate paths—fame, success, love—only to realize that no life is perfect. Through these experiences, she gains a new appreciation for her real life and chooses to return, embracing it with hope. The story explores regret, second chances, and the beauty of everyday moments.
