Dear Mrs. Hundsberger,

It gets closer to the end of my time as a student of library sience,
I will have to write my "Diplom-Arbeit" about 40 pages.
I am very interesting in writing about the history of the
John Rylands Library. Is it possible to get any addresses (e-mail, and  
normal onces) to get any information etc.?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards

Anna Rohleder
