Well it's been a full summer filled with spectacular book repositories! I went to Mexico City's university's library, the Library of Congress and National Archives in D.C., the Boston Public Library, and Harvard's Library! The Boston Public Library was the first circulating public library in the united states. Apparently Philadelphia and Boston have a rivalry between who had the first public library in the U.S., and although Philly was technically first to build a public library, it wasn't circulating until after Boston's was. All in all it was such an awesome summer!!!
