Can I add my support and admiration for local studies librarians. Long may
they continue! Although living in Yorkshire I have recently been visiting
South Shields Library for a project I am starting. The local studies
librarian there (Keith, I think his name is) is a credit to his profession.
I get little work done as I spend my time listening to the many and diverse
queries he gets from visitors and in phone calls, and I never ceased to be
amazed at how he seems to be able to answer every single query! He is a
true fount of knowledge, and a real asset to his employers.
