That was because nearly the entire stock was held off-site. If you
ordered anything it had to be brought by van from one of many secure
stores round London.
I always used to order and tell them to hold it for me. I would then go
home and come back another day.
I of course did not use that reading room, biology and medicine was
available from a grubby office building about half a mile away.
Now the library has almost all its stock buried underground in its new
purpose built (and over budget) library about a mile from the old
building. The new computerised system means books arrive about ten
minutes after you order them, although I tend to save time by consulting
the catalogues online at www.bl.uk and phoning in my request before I
set out for the library!

another war."
