Online Public Access Catalogue Leeds High School Online Public Access Catalogue

Can you hear the quiet slide of the wood on wood as you pull out the drawer?  How about the musty smell of paper mingled with dust–paper that was already decaying thirty years ago when these were actually used?  Can you see the hand-typed words on the cards, the impressions left by the metal keys of the manual typewriter?  And then as you reach for the card you need… Can you feel its soft feathered smoothness, the quiet of that card worn with age, oiled with smudge and pencil marks? Ah yes, the card catalog.
