Hello Peter
All this came from www.moray.gov.uk
In the column on the right hand side that says "Quick Service Links" look down and you will see Local Heritage Services, click on that an you will see down the page a link to Local Heritage Web Site, click on that then on the left hand side menu click on Libindex - easy really !
They are a very nice helpful lot of people up at Moray and so it may well be worth contacting them about anything specific.
Good luck
