Library Cataloging
Today Cora and I visited the Library of Congress and the Folger Shakespeare Libraries. They don't build libraries like that any more. LC is so monumental. Fitting for the library at the center of an empire. The Folger is so traditionally academic. At LC we visited the exhibit of the Saint John's Bible. Remarkable, wondrous. We never seem to be in town when either have music. I'd love to hear a concert in either venue.
