Enquire is a live international enquiry service, staffed by librarians in England and overseas - ask your question and you will be connected to a librarian who will try to find an answer. You can chat online to the librarian and discuss your question; the librarian will respond straight away or by email.
Library services in England work together with library staff worldwide to deliver Enquire around the clock. Libraries in England staff the service from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm; and international library partners cover other times.
