This isn’t really new information for many people but I thought in view of this new YouTube video that others might like to see what goes on in the U.S. Library of Congress to preserve our written history. <\/p>\n

I visited the Library of Congress shortly after the Reading Room and other parts of the library were renovated several years ago. It’s a beautiful place. The tour was wonderful. My husband and I were two of four Americans in a tour group of about 20 people. I don’t know if the numbers have changed much over the years. A friend who works there doubts it.

Wonder why? Hope you enjoy a pick at American’s premier library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
