Library of Congress Main Reading Room Open House

In honor of President’s Day, I was invited to attend the Library of Congress’ Main Reading Room Open House!  The Library of Congress opens the doors of the Main Reading Room to the public only twice a year.  It was a privilege and honor to take part in such a special day.  I read the book, Duck for President to an attentive and interactive group of students who were enjoying their day off from school.  I toured the library and learned about everything it has to offer.



The Main Reading Room is absolutely Majestic! You have to see it for yourself!

Picking a book was quite the task.

Reading Duck for President to a wonderful group of patrons.

The Card Catalogue!  When was the last time you used one of these?
