L ibrary Basic Directory Information Address, contact numbers and basic size may be all you need initially. Such information can be found through numerous book directories. Most directories are created from questionnaires, so the information is suggestive - not absolute. The commercial databases to these directories usually cover a far larger area, and this may be very useful. Every library will have numerous directory titles available, though not always the most recent editions.
