Strange goings-on in the Healthscare Library... A metal bucket has been placed in the lobby to catch the drips from the ceiling. The assistant librarian is desperately digging with a fork in the windowsill plant pots while two of her colleagues are on honeymoon. One night, the out-of-hours users receive a warm welcome when they discover hot water bottles on the chairs in the reading room. And what happens when the library is relocated to a brand new hospital? It ought to be every librarian's dream, but turns out to be a major hurdle for our valiant team. Never mind, Simon Pendrive - that worthy descendant of so many illustrious librarians - has his firm managerial finger in the pie!
No Coffee for the Architrave is an independent sequel to Two Point Five Cheers for the Library and The Library Always Wins.
