The Section runs a very successful programme of library visits, details of which are published in the Update Calendar. A mailing list is sent round to those people who have previously attended visits. Recent successful visits have included the Wellcome Institute. Suggestions for library visits are always welcome.
Visits are free and open to all. They generally last for about 2 hours, and there is always a chance to ask questions during the visits. It is advisable to book a place on visits early, as they are very popular and are often oversubscribed.
