Not normally being one to rush to the defense of public organizations ..
(I fear that the Christmas spirit may be getting the better of me) ...
BUT
When I went to Cardiff Library earlier in the year to look at their set of
mineral statistics I was very impressed.
These are held in their "stacks" rather than the main library which I was
able to find easily (having been given very clear directions when I had made
contact before hand)
Interestingly when I telephoned they informed me that although the info
available online suggests they have quite a few they actually have more than
those listed (nearly a full set)
I was given plenty of space to spread out and (rather than just getting one
at a time for me) they brought through the whole set on a trolley
If any list member goes to Cardiff can I suggest you ring ahead and if you
are luck you will get to speak to the people that I spoke to and will have a
most enjoyable time (well at least I enjoyed it - most "normal" people
wouldn't but I assume anyone still reading this is liable to be equally
easily pleased!!)
Can't speak for the central library though - not been there
Regards & Merry Christmas to you all
David
