British Library-

“I saw King George the Third in a different light because of his gift of thousands of books to the British Public (rather than through the lens of the American Revolutionary War).  It was great to visit the place where my Dad came to study while at the London School of Economics.
Stefan

“King George’s personal book collection started their National Library just like Jefferson’s 
started ours”
Sadie

“It was very interesting to see how their Library works. They even have meeting rooms to help inspire and support entrepreneurs which is very intriguing. “
Genevieve 

“So much information….  It was awesome”
Marlee

“My favorite part was looking at the special documents on display and seeing things from the Beatles, Shakespeare, and other famous people”
Jamie

“I loved seeing the notes from the Beatles and some of their memorabilia. I also like seeing the Magna Carta.”
Ryan

“It was neat to learn about how anyone could use it especially since I plan on studying abroad in London some day.”
Matt

“This was the most awesome Library I have ever been to”
Sarah

“Really cool setup, and a really interesting and unique way of storing books.  They stored them not by topic but by size as to conserve self space.”
Kyle

“The special documents room was so cool.”
Gretchen

“I have never been in a library this big.  It made me tired just walking around.  There was so much stuff here.”
Valente

“I was surprised to see a huge stamp collection in a Library.”
Hannah

“The giant book case in the center of the lobby was unique (KIng George’s Library)”
Cassandra

“I had a huge moment seeing some of the Beatles original lyrics.  The letter John wrote, “I remember when everyone I loved hated me” with the doodle he drew of himself had me crying a lot.”
Maggie

“I loved the library especially the special collections!”
Sarah P

“The size of their collection was insane.”
Kearston

“Fascinating to compare to the Library of Congress.  King George the 3rd’s library was massive, it put Jefferson’s collection into context.  Magna Carta——-WOW!”
