You would love Yale's libraries. Of course, you'd have to know a student to get into them, but they're just amazing.

OMG, I've been there! Back when I lived in Connecticut as a kid. One of my classes went there on a school trip. I remember them talking about how some of the books had to be sealed up, and how it was better to use acid-free paper for stuff you wanted to last a long time. But oddly enough, the main thing I remember is when a bird flew into a window (not one of those translucent thingies; either a glass door or other large-ish window). The whole class was gathered around to see if the bird was dead or would get up again (she did get up eventually :D).

Nice pictures, and thanks for the memories!
