Books and computers, catalogues and orders, the return to work restarts the displaced patterns. Circulation and shelving, emails and requests, yet the greatest reassurance is the [people]. They remind us of what this is all about. Their stories and queries, personalities and voices, it is the people there in person who make it worthwhile. Vaccinated and unvaccinated, masks or no masks, whole new sets of regulations evolve out of two years of pandemic. People know how to behave, they go along with the pattern, likewise more interested in other people, and the literature, in this ‘post-pandemic’ period of the pandemic.
