Imagine winning four return Via tickets from Toronto to Ottawa. So I went in late July along with three family members. What a blast! Grandson is 12 and it was a lesson in civics, in history, in architecture. All of us loved the Library of Parliament. What an exquisite library. How many librarians does it require to run this library? I didn't find out. Maybe you know!
Back in the fifties I worked in the library at Canada House in London. My boss there had moved from her previous job as librarian at the parliamentary library in Ottawa. I believe at that time the staff had been just about as small as it was in London (we were two there), but I imagine things have changed greatly since then. In those days hours of its being open would have been very limited.
