When
downstairs at the Bridge Club, you may have noticed the glass-fronted bookcases
at the end of the room. These contain the historic Sheffield Bridge Club Library
and I am proud to be the latest Librarian, freshly appointed by the Committee.
If you
want to borrow a book, just ask David behind the bar, and write the details down
in the ancient (well, quite old) black ledger.
I
intend to give this dusty corner of the club a bit of a shake-up. To start with
I have started cataloguing all the books. I have got as far as the row of books
written by Ely Culbertson and so I am taking a breather. I have taken out the
duplicates, of which there are quite a lot, and will put a list up in the club,
and on the website. If you want to take one of these books, I would only ask for
a nominal fee of 50p, which I will put into a Library fund, and one day I might
be able to add a new book to our collection. Please initial the book on the list
to show your interest. I will leave the list up until the end of April. If more
than one person is interested – perhaps unlikely – then we will have an exciting
auction. For other books, the local charity shops will share the take.
I will
then organise the books into Historic (pre 1939), Books on Play, and Books on
Bidding (Old i.e. pre-1975) and New.
I would
be very happy to receive any bridge books you may have at home and no longer
need. Obviously the more modern works will have greater relevance to Club
members. I could offer any such books for auction if you like, with half of any
proceeds going to the Library Fund.
