fuck the LOC. Princeton's Firestone Library is older, until WWII had shitloads more money, and is run without interference of the govt.
when you walk across the courtyard you are walking across the roof of a vast underground labyrintyh filled with books dating back to 1758 when the library opened and before. these skylights are at courtyard level on the other side of the building. we used to lay on them during the summer.
from what i understand, the deepest reaches of the library go deeper than the fusion reasearch facility they built during the cold war. i bet there are pieces of the true cross in a shoe box somewhere down there.
