[Vwoolf] "the library was closed" (Tom Lehrer)

[Stuart N. Clarke]

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.
