"IFLA’s New Headquarters in the Royal Library, The Hague: Although the festive opening of the Royal Library on 28 September 1982 was not at the same time as the opening of IFLA HQ, the staff of IFLA nevertheless felt that some of the glory was reflecting on them. And that glory was in particular the fact that the Queen of the Netherlands [Beatrix] performed the opening ceremony. Later she talked to various IFLA colleagues who were in The Hague for the International Symposium, reported elsewhere in this issue of the Journal. The Queen in particular discussed IFLA’s activities in the Third World."
