We also saw some historical newspapers and learned about their general acquisitions and cataloging processes. It was lovely.

I went down to the sacred store
Or library. Whatever. :) I spent a few hours behind the scenes in the Library of Congress today. IT WAS AWESOME. The first hour was in the Music department and I was geeking out the. whole time. I saw the original Rhapsody in Blue and who knows what else.

Full body geek out? Yes, I believe it was. ;)
(don't anyone steal my band name!)
Terribly terribly jealous. I LOVE historic books and the back rooms of libraries. I think I love the historic books more though. Which might be why, for a moment, I considered spending two month's rent on a handmade, hand illuminated, hand set, hand bound book this week. Reason prevailed however and I will have a roof for two months instead of an absolutely gorgeous book.
You're so lucky! Once upon a time I wanted to work at the Library of Congress.
I know, lofty childhood ambitions.
I would probably geek out, too!
