Love Me Tomorrow
by Emiko Jean

What if your true love could write to you from the future?

Seventeen-year-old Emma Nakamura-Thatcher doesn’t believe in love, not after her parents’ bitter divorce. So when she attends the festival of Tanabata, her wish is simple: proof that love is real and can last.

Emma thinks little of her wish…until she finds a note from someone claiming to be her greatest love writing to her from the future. It has to be a prank, right? But as the notes pour in, each revealing secrets only she knows, Emma is forced to accept the impossible: This is really happening. Someone is actually reaching out to her from across time.

But who? Ezra, the musical prodigy who makes her pulse race? Theo, the literal boy next door who’s known her since childhood? Or Colin, the overly confident, overly handsome, overly rich kid she meets while cleaning his mega-mansion?

As Emma races to uncover the identity of the letter writer, she’ll discover that love is more than real—it’s the most powerful force in the universe. And it’s been waiting for her all along.

  • Only 4 chairs are allowed per table, and only 1 person on each chair. All 4 legs of the chair must be on the ground at all times.

  • Computer sessions are limited to 30 minutes each. Sessions can be extended if no other person is waiting to use the computer. Repeat sessions may or may not be 30 minutes in length depending upon whether others are waiting.

  • Teens must use the computers downstairs in the Children’s Room if they are accompanied by a patron in 6th grade or under who also needs to use the computer.
