      So many times, I have idly picked up a random book when upset or facing a problem, only to have it fall open to a paragraph or sentence that illuminates my situation and gives me direction. It never seems to fail, plus knowing there were others who faced the same human problems all through human history, and no matter how enlightened, wrote about their exasperation and indecisions. It always calms me, knowing I am never alone, that others traveled the same rough paths and came through. It taught me that there are ALWAYS answers, always something that can be done, tried or changed. There is never just a dead end...

      You can access the British Library mate, I used it a couple of times in the late 80s as a student for my research. Some parts you can not access such as the storage facility which is a temperature, moisture controled zero UV environment designed to preserve the papers and other materials printed upon but the vast majority of it's material has been copied to other formats such as microfiche when I used it and no doubt to digital formats now. BTW it is an otherworldly experience when you're in there.

      BTW the BL has a programme to put all it's content into a digital repository, I suggest we make it a Global cooperation project to set up the space so we can record every book in the World both to preserve the texts inside forever and to allow them to be freely read, after all isn't that what a library's for?

    Let's do a "go fund me" and see of the Greek or Egyptain Government would be willing to host a brand new Library of Alexandria! I am thinking: Modern building, make it high enough or long enough to house ALL of the scientific literature of the world! And have it as the home of a separate Science Internet where researchers can access unbiased "hard" info for their studies!! That would be so cool!!!!
