The Last Shelf Arrangement
When a municipal library in Worcester is forced to justify its existence with a series of public events, its quietly competent events coordinator ends up partnering with the one man she has spent three years trying not to notice: the council's practical, irritatingly calm digital services officer. Their plan to save the library turns into a running argument about budgets, books, and whether a place can matter if it is always being told to prove itself.
