A second visit to the Irish & Local Studies Library in Armagh City

It's a strange happening, but i find when i research in a resource library, rich with reference books and documentation, newspapers, it is a case that time dissappears extremly quickly. We visited the library yesterday again, and started to research from about 09:40 am, and were met at the reception desk by Catherine Gartland, who had as pre-requested layed our research material on the tables, awaiting our arrival.
It is worthy of note to say that Catherine in her own right is an extremely qualified lady, who has a sizeable knowledge and insight of Irish historical affairs, and has a veritable working knowledge of the resource materials within the library, which i found most valuable when time is limited within a study day. In all i can only recommend this library most highly to any and all who wish to research Iirish affairs, whether the topic area should encompass Iirish Literature to politics, social events to art. This truly is a treasure trove of relevant information. The staff within the library equal the librarys content in expertise and efficiency, and make a students visit a much more agreeable event.
