My brother works here, and gave us a private tour of the Library, taking us places the public doesn’t see. It was the high point of our trip.

My Library Card by mocove

At the information desk in the Library of Congress, they gave my son and I directions to the next building through the tunnel under the street. We had to go there to get a library card – you have to have a card to get into the reading room! It was a very long walk and the process was quick, but detailed – had to have ID, they take your picture. At the entrance to the reading room, they stopped us because my son wasn’t 18, but she let us in for a minute. I slipped into the stacks just to take a book or two off the shelf, glance at the table of contents and slip it back. I could have spent so much time there. Apparently, you need a reason to be at the library – researching family history, for example. Since then, I’ve got some things to look up there for the next time!
