The Quiet Catalogue
When a small coastal library in west Wales is told to cut back its physical stock and move more of its service online, the staff member left to manage the transition starts finding signs that parts of the collection have been quietly altered over years of reclassification. As she follows the paper trail, she is drawn into a local story about memory, ownership and the uneasy way institutions decide what deserves to stay visible.
