Yesterday, Quynh and I, along with about 70 other (less giddy) history undergrads went on a tour of the Andersen Library on campus. Also known as the most magical place on the planet, Andersen Library is a haven of research dreams. While the inside of the building is an architectural sight in itself, the real prize is 90 feet underground in...
THE UNDERGROUND BOOK CAVERN
This cavern of love currently holds over 1.5 million books, spanning underneath the West Bank and beyond. It's shelves contain excess library books from throughout the state, and the rare books & special collections from the university. And it still has plenty of room to spare - it is larger than the size of four football fields. It is roughly 1.5 million times better than Christmas.
The tour itself was pretty magical, as well. We learned about the cavern's construction, and then how to gain access to some of the items in the cavern for our own research. Not only does the cavern have an amazing selection of books to be utilized, but there are even more pieces of material in the cavern that still need to be documented!
It's a serious shame that we will finishing up our undergraduate work this year.
In conclusion, I have decided that my life's path is one of an underground book cavern troll.
