*Update! 10/2: Balungile Moleme sent us some awesome pix too! They've been added to the end of this post!*
All reports indicate that the Washington Trip was a wonderful success. We all had tired feet and thumbs ached from downing Noah Wyle's sad turn in the TNT "Classic" The Librarian, but overall an excellent time was had touring the Library of Congress and Book Festival.
Shoutouts to Dr. Leanne Bowler, Dr. Sue Alman, Dr. Mary Kay Biagini, and Harold the Bus Driver for all their hard work on Saturday. Many thanks, y'all!
Here are a few select photographs from Brian Rogers and Xiaomeng Wang, two MLIS students who attended the Washington Trip. If you have photos you would like to share of the Washington Trip (c'mon somebody's got something good from the bus ride home!), email them to jacqueline.h.taylor@gmail.com and I'll add them to this post. Enjoy y'all!
Archway into the Library of Congress (the primary, Jefferson building; other buildings include the Adams and the Madison).
Staircase entrance to the Reading Room viewing gallery--Athena marks the way.
An arched window in the Reading Room.
We were split into two groups for the Library of Congress tour, here one group stands in the Reading Room viewing gallery. Can you spot yourself or your friends? The ponytail-ed lady with her back to the camera was our knowledgable tour guide, Susan.
Setting of BookFest, this pool sat inbetween Capitol Hill (a picture of which heads this post, and which the Library of Congress sits directly behind) and the Mall (where all the BookFest tents were pitched).
The puddles couldn't slow BookFest down! This picture captures the enormity of BookFest--the event took up the entirety of the Mall--approximately 3 city blocks!
Two distinguished Pitt MLIS students stand in the Library of Congress lobby.

Capitol Hill sits directly infront of the main Library of Congress building (the Jefferson). A soon-to-be-completed tunnel will connect the two underground.
