Libraries and Books: Highlights and Dangers, Tuesday
Class today met at Portalocity for another field trip.
"We're not going far today," Jon said. "The Library of Congress is in Washington, DC, not far from Fandom, geographically speaking. It's the de facto national library for the US, and the oldest federal cultural institution in the country, for whatever that's worth." Ah, Americans.
"Everything published in the US is expected to have two copies submitted to the library. They receive around fifteen thousand publications every day. We won't be able to take anything out, but there's still a lot to see there, both the books and the buildings themselves."
The portal opened, and he led the way through. "Enjoy yourselves, and I'll meet you back here when class is over."
