According to the wishes of Star, at this point the Consulting Tables will 
be non-full service.  Part of the education process is to provide some help 
but our major thrust is going to be educating both heralds and the populace 
in general heraldry.  It used to be part of the requirements for attaining 
Peerage - to have a basic working knowledge of heraldry and be able to do 
simple blazons.   The populace will either come with ideas or leave with 
easily registered arms or an idea of what additional documentation will be 
required.  They can then go to the local herald (or any herald)  and finish 
the process started at the Tables.

Also, Armillary is not responsible for the Consultation Tables.  She will 
be responsible for the books and making sure they are brought to the 
Consultation Table and for maintaining the Library itself.  (Getting new 
tubs, making sure forms are ready, etc.)  We're slowly getting a 
bibliography of books owned by the Kingdom Office which will also be 
printed on line.

If there are books on the "H" list that are no longer acceptable for 
correct documentation then perhaps the College could make suggestions as a 
whole to Laurel and get the list updated.  Obviously as new books come out, 
it needs to be done as well.

If someone has suggestions of needful books that should go into the library 
please send me the name and title.  I can make a list and start acquiring 
them slowly or through donations to the office.  Libraries are not stagnant 
beings but growing evolving entities.
