It sounds like they gave you a warm welcome. In my experience, few groups are genuinely nicer and more engaging than hardcore enthusiasts about a subject, whether it’s stamps, gardening, or silent film. OK, the silent film crowd is a little cliquish, but you can’t win them all.

One foot in the classic profession (think: Library at Alexandra!) and one foot in the electronic cloud.

Librarian emergencies unravel much more slowly than medical emergencies. I just introduced myself as “the librarian in the room” for the rest of the day.
