Visit a London library

Once again the London and Home Counties Branch of the (British) Library Association has offered to help North American libraries wishing to visit libraries in the Greater London area during summer vacations. They will plan a program of library visits to suit the particular interests of groups of librarians, library school students, or individual librarians. Charles Hanson’s description of his successful visit last year appeared in the September 1984 CbRL News (“From Lima to Reading: The Great Library Visit,” pp.417-18).

No charge will be made for the service. A minimum of one month’s notice must be given prior to your arrival. Be as specific as possible about not only the kind of library you would like to visit, but also the particular aspects of their services which interests you. No hotel reservations or detailed travel arrangements can be made. In return the Branch asks that you write a short, informal report of your experiences to help them assess their services.
