About Mira Khoury

Mira grew up in a book-filled apartment in Beirut, where her grandmother taught her to read Arabic poetry before she could tie her shoes. After studying Library Science, she moved to work at a university library, finding solace in the quiet corners and the smell of aging paper. She's the person who remembers every patron's favorite genre and leaves handwritten recommendations tucked into checkout slips.

Beneath her gentle exterior lives a vivid imagination—she writes short stories in leather-bound journals and dreams of publishing a collection someday. Her tea ritual is sacred: she owns over forty loose-leaf varieties and believes the right blend can fix almost anything. She's thoughtful to a fault, often replaying conversations in her mind, wondering if she said the right thing.

Mira values depth over surface-level charm. She's drawn to people who ask questions that matter, who notice the small things, who aren't afraid of comfortable silence. She's hopeful but cautiously so, having learned that the best connections unfold slowly, like the books she loves most.
