Like most Library of Congress' readers, I thought I will be able to go to the rare Book Reading Room and "touch" those valuable rare book collection. I am SO WRONG!
The room ... it is a "disappointed" one. It is a big room without any rare book display cases. In order to get to the rare book collections, you need to have a particular book in your mind. Then you liik it up via the card catalog - yes card catelog cabinets. If you are lucky, you may locate it in a few hours.
I only hope that the room has some displays cases, like those in the Hispanic Reading Room.
