Farewell to the Library of Congress

Farewell to the Library of Congress! What a wonderful internship experience I had this summer. I had very enjoyable and interesting tasks, including cataloging over 1,000 maps of Belgium that dated from the 17th-21st Centuries and reading through French-language periodicals discussing international affairs. Not only did I learn through my work, I also attended many of the free lectures, concerts, and events, which included a talk about the anti-comic campaign in the 1950s and a Eastern European Folk Music concert performed by a group from Ohio. It was a terrific time and I am sad to see it ending.
