Library of Congress

The Library of Congress is my favorite place in DC (Mary B)! It is absolutely beautiful- almost more like a church than a library. There are lots of beautiful paintings and pictures and statues and such...

But the best part of the library is the main reading room. As a tourist, you get to stare down into the main reading room from a viewing area. Only researchers are allowed...

On a solo trip to the Library last month, I got a Research Reader pass and am now a card carrying member of the LOC! (It's actually very easy to do, just a bit of a hassle and paperwork). With me new little card, I can go into the reading rooms and and research or hang out! I know it makes me a geek, but I am excited!

Love,
