The Library

I'm finding it very difficult to get hold of the spoken word by some poet's in particular Sylvia Plath. I've even phoned the head office of the British Library to ask how I am able to listen to these reading's. I wanted to listen to them as I am attempting to make my own reading, I find it terrible how inaccessible things are and am not happy with the UCF library who keep asking me to use a machine. I've ordered some material from amazon but feel I need more, I've been using UBU web a lot which is useful but it doesn't make me any less upset with the library. One of the reasons for me being unable to obtain the material is because its not in Cornwall and the other is that they are tapes and the library 'only likes to use Cd's and DVDs now'. If I wish to listen to it I will have to go to central London and book it, that is if I get a reading pass and the material is available at the time. I stupidly thought that one of the most influential poets of all time would be fairly accessible. Apologies but I have spent all day chasing this.
