Will Chambers, an easygoing Brooklyn librarian who loves cartoons and punk rock music, isn't so happy-go-lucky after eight months out of work. If he doesn't find another job soon, he's going to be living in a box somewhere in the New York City subway system! His back pressed firmly to the wall, Will applies for a job in trendy Williamsburg promising «lots of fresh air and unbeatable benefits.» Will's unforeseen new career is an adventurous one, as he is quickly confronted with a neighborhood of hipsters, a perky orange-haired baker named Coriander, and his feelings for his former co-worker and best friend, Beth, who is definitely not your textbook children's librarian.
