All About Checked Out

Cover Checked Out, a Coin of Love Romance by Karin Kallmaker. Features a brown haired woman peering from behind an open bright green book. A holiday santa hat ornament dangles from the title.

The Coin of Love Series: Women discover the magic they need to find the love they deserve.

Peri Garritsen thought it was a simple assignment: get a small-town librarian to answer a few questions. Easy is what everyone tells her she needs right now even though she knows she’s fine. She’ll make it a quick trip and get back to doing something actually important.

Librarian Lisette Osborne is not the least bit unnerved by the arrival of yet another secret agent wannabee in her office. No warrant, no answers — the law is on her side. But that doesn’t seem to matter to Ms. Homeland Security.

A librarian with a history. A Fed not sure of her future. And one very old coin.

Inspired by a long-running court case where a small town library system stood up to the Patriot Act and heavy-handed intimidation from the Federal Government over a simple principal: privacy exists. If the governments wants to violate it, they need a warrant.

I do pity the fool who thinks librarians can be intimidated by swaggering authority. I have been known to shout “NO NO NO” at the TV when a cop show has a librarian offering up patron gossip and reading records without the cop even showing a badge, let alone a court order.
