Inside the World's Haunted Libraries

My third book comes out April 2026! It's wild to think that in just a few short months, this book (which I describe as my love letter to libraries and the ghosts within them) will be in the hands of readers. I wanted to take a moment and share a bit about the journey of this book. 

Amidst the writing of my first and second books, the idea for Inside the World's Haunted Libraries began brewing. As a librarian myself, and as someone with a lifelong interest in the paranormal, I began dreaming about being able to preserve, record, and amplify the lived experiences of library workers around the globe. I pitched the idea to my publisher and they liked it! 

From there, I began collecting personal paranormal experiences that library workers have experienced in their very own libraries. Not only did I want to amplify and preserve their voices, I also wanted to shine a light on each library at the center of every story. Through this, I hope readers will see just how broad and diverse libraries and library services are - in this way, it is my love letter to libraries (and library workers) everywhere. 

To give you a little sneak peek, in the book you'll read experiences from Canadian, Australian, Indian, Belgium, Scottish libraries, and many more! You'll encounter a very spooky tale of a doppelganger in one library and hear about a mysterious barcode scanner that attempted to send a message in another library. At the core of every encounter, though, is a spotlight on the history and impact of every single library and the work of librarians, who are the real institution of librarianship themselves. 

Welcome to my love letter. I hope you enjoy.
