Hello list, Is any one there a member of the OCGS who works in the library? After getting many responses to my inquiry about OCGS hours,etc. I realized I'll be there at a bad time - the second week of the month- most hours seem to be during the first and third weeks. Unfortunately my travel plans are set. One email I received mentioned hours by appointment (though on the OCGS website it didn't mention any) I'd like to get in contact with someone who works there...I believe OCGS only has a snail mail address- no phone or email? If anyone knows of a way to contact an OCGS librarian and possibly set up an appointment let me know. Thanks for everyone's help next email is my answer to ROLL CALL Liz Weislogel
