Dulwich library phone num?


Hickory

Recommended Posts

Hi, does anyone know the real phone number for Dulwich library? The one shown on google and southwark's website go through to environmental services.

I also tried Yelp but that must have been a fax number


Alternatively, can anyone tell me if the library has a selection of business books?


Thanks

Hi,


About eight years ago, all the libraries in Southwark stopped taking calls and all calls went to a privatised call centre. Unless things have changed since then, there is no way of getting hold of the "real number" as these are only made available to other libraries, council services and the staff themselves. Of course this might have changed, but I very much doubt it.


The library does have a section of business books, but mainly aimed at people running or starting their own business, rather than business studies students. They're open tomorrow,Sunday from 12 - 4pm so you could pop down and take a look. You could also email [email protected] but I doubt you'll get an answer before next week. You can also search the catalogue online at https://capitadiscovery.co.uk/southwark/


I just did a search on subject: "business" and it threw up 312 books at Dulwich, as you will see here: http://tinyurl.com/qzxbdff Of course, not all or even most of these will be on the shelf right now.


Hope this helps!

They do seem to do their best to cut out access other than through a few multi-purpose numbers, such as 020 7525 2000 for all the libraries, and more. I suspect most of the library managers are probably concentrated somewhere else. Though, to be fair, many library inquiries probably can be delat with centrally.


The Dulwich library fax number is said to be Fax: 020 7525 6221. I'd be interested to know what happens if you do ring 7525 2000 and ask for Dulwich Library.


You'd best check the catalogue for whatever you're particularly looking for. I find this search page the most useful: http://capitadiscovery.co.uk/southwark/advancedsearch, and it does include location as a possible search parameter. You can experiment ad lib with keywords for search; but be prepared for some quirky responses.


Then be prepared, once you've found something you want, for not being able to find it when you visit the library. This can be because it went missing, or sometimes that it's in one of several possible different locations within the library, not necessarily primarily determined by Dewey classmark, as in the good old , pre-user-friendly days.


That said, you should be able to rely on finding one or more blocks of books on business-related subjects in any of the branches.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
