It has occurred to me that, as I can no longer go to the British Library, I’ll have to buy more books. Do I really need this book(let): "The Women's Suffrage Movement in and around Richmond and Twickenham"? Well, I think so, so I’ve ordered it – a bit overpriced IMO. Still, I save on the train fare to London. (Unlike so many in financial difficulties, I expect my finances to improve: no more expensive meals out, no more holidays, no more train fares, no more theatre visits – not even a haircut.)
I’m willing to provide photographs of articles and refs of items in my collection for others in similar difficulties.

All those covers – how familiar they look! Go on – test me. Have I got this or that book? (Don’t test me. Have I read this or that book?)

They call it a "national emergency library," but access is not limited to a particular nation. "Until June 30th or the end of the US national emergency (whichever comes later)," the Internet Archive is opening their collection and eliminating waitlists to borrow books. A quick search for Woolf produces 166 hits, including a lot of vintage criticism. And that, of course, only scratches the surface.
