This particularly applies to geological maps. We envisage maps being used at home, or possibly in your car. Please make photocopies of relevant areas (for your own use only) if you want to take them into quarries, up hills, or out in the rain.<\/p>\n<p>The normal loan period will be one month.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that you will find something interesting and useful. We also need your help if the system is to grow. If you can offer materials to lend to other members or donations for the library, or if you have any suggestions, please get in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Team Leader: Maggie Smith phone 01684 567278, email <a href=\"geologylibrary@malvernu3a.org.uk\">mailto:geologylibrary@malvernu3a.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Views: 648<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group Library How to borrow The Malvern U3A Geology Group library is now catalogued in an Excel Workbook.
