OPTION 2: – read one book that meets both criteria for option 1.
Murder in the Secret Garden by Ellery Adams
*initials E.A. found in NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK
*Storyton Hall, where the book is set, is a library. (view spoiler)[Jane, the MC, is the library's guardian, and everything she does, every decision she makes, is done to make sure the library is safe. In this book, there is an international book thief who may or may not be after the books in the library, one rare illuminated manuscript that is actually stolen from the library. In addition, Jane struggles with her family about what books should or shouldn't be allowed to be shared because some of the books in the library could change history. There isn't much of an actual garden where the action occurs. There are a few scenes set in various gardens and lots of talk about poisonous plants, but all of that takes place within the library (hide spoiler)].
