Bibliotekspersonalens arbete med skrivaktiviteter i Västerbotten och Västernorrland och hur det påverkats av Covid-19 pandemin.

This study is a qualitative analysis that focuses on library staffs work with writing activities in Västerbotten and Västernorrland before, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. It also focuses on the future of writing activities at the library and whether or not the pandemic will affect them long term. The data in this study is based on five interviews with different library staff that took place in December 2021, these interviews were then coded and analysed using thematic analysis. The conclusion is that not much has changed from the time before the pandemic to now, December 2021. The only difference is that some of the libraries closed down for a short time in December 2020 and when they opened up again the writing activities were either moved online or postponed until they could be held in person again. Most of the libraries had at least one writing activity during or after the pandemic, during the pandemic it was mostly digital activities and after the pandemic it was a mix of both digital and physical activities.When it comes to the future of writing activities at the libraries it is still uncertain. Some of the participants in the study are going to focus on other activities besides writing activities, others are planning to start new activities in the future, and some are going to continue with the ones they started after society opened up again in 2021.
