However, we were told that we were not allowed to get one because we were just visiting (never mind that our taxes were paying for the upkeep of said library). Disappointed, we left and hoped that one day we would get our cards.
Well, I got mine.
A few weeks ago, I preregistered online to go get a library card. I was worried that they wouldn't give me one, but apparently being a student at a local university is a great reason! So one free morning I wandered over the river and through the ghetto (on bus and metro) to the Madison Building of the Library of Congress.
I filled out a form, and then sat and waited.
My name was called, I smiled for the camera, and signed my name.
HAHAHAHA!
Minus the stretched out picture (but my hair is relatively calm so I'm happy), I have a library card for the Library of Congress!!!! I have not gone to the reading room yet, mainly because I have had no free time to do such things these past few weeks. But I am planing on going quite soon and secretly taking pictures to document my adventures.
And when my Dad comes to visit, I am taking him to get one. We will be working on an important research project together. ;)
