This only happens twice a year, and one of those times is in a few days: the Library of Congress opens up it’s magnificent Reading Room and allows photography. Normally this room isn’t open to the public (unless you go through the process of getting a Reader Identification Card). Massive marble columns, domed roof, multiple balconies, bronze statues, amid the soft light and hush of the library. If this sounds appealing, you can head over there on Monday, President’s Day, between 10 and 3.
