Library of Congress

Before I start posting from my adventures at ALA, I just wanted to write quickly about my first trip to the Library of Congress when visiting Washington DC with my community band a few weeks ago. Did you know that anyone can get a reader card to the Library of Congress, that there is a copy of the Gutenberg bible, and some Stradivarious violins, as well as Thomas Jefferson's original library? Enjoy some of the pictures from the visit. (P.S. As you can see, I'm not the only librarian in the group! The picture in the cemetery is the grave of a historical researcher who simply wrote "Look it Up" on her tombstone)
