Overview

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. She'll make it a quick trip, prove she's fit for duty, and get back to doing something actually important.

Librarian Lisette Osborne is not happy at the arrival of another imperious government agent in her office. The library policy is not hard to understand: no warrant, no answers. But that doesn't seem to matter to Ms. "I Hate Small Towns and the Holidays" Homeland Security.

Agent Big City Grumpy meets Librarian Small Town Sunshine. Checked Out is all that in a jingle bells novella full of books and cookies, plus one very old coin.
