    When I was a student in Munich I loved the Bavarian National Library (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek). You could read books from the 18th and even 17th century on all topics, like cannon gunnery or spices. A library is an important part of the Inheritance of a culture.

      Germany has a fabulous library except the early 20th century for some reason

    Elizabeth Drinker’s diary. She was a Quaker in Philadelphia.

    I've learned that with video games as well. You buy them when they come out or within a year or so of their release. Then play them when you get around to it. If you wait too long they become out of production and people 500% increase the price of them due to the rarity of them. I decided to start collecting consul games to my consoles. If your parents try to force you to get rid of them in a spring cleaning or forced cleaning do not get rid of your video games as they will be worth something a few decades later. I really wish I did not get rid of any of my gameboy games.

    As if I don't have enough books already, watching Jon talk about these books, now I have to add a few more to my library!

    Recruiting a Masters of Library Science grad student from Indiana University looking for a cataloging capstone project sounds like a great, free way to have your library cataloged so you can share all of its contents with the world. ;) If I had had an opportunity like this when I was in grad school getting my MLIS, I would have thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

    I remember seeing a Subscription Library in Cincinnati. It was basically for historians and legal specialists. Carnegie made public libraries available and while taxes support many of the libraries today, they aren't appreciated as much as they should be.

    I just found this live stream, I don't like that I missed it. This is a great topic. Real books have always been my best friends. I never got into reading on Kindle and the like.
    Thank you Townsends for sharing.

    Your library cannot be a proper one until you have Washington's Diaries.

    I was watching "Rushmore" today and felt such an immense sense of Nostalgie when they flipped through the physical checkout cards. I went to a Carnegie museum in Pittsburgh, with my son, back in February and took a picture of him searching through the old card library catalog.

    Are you familiar with the Foxfire books? Very rich with information of Appalachian culture. They detail on making everything they needed and the lifestyle.

      Love those books. We camped at Smokemont almost every year for decades. I discovered the Foxfire books at the Cherokee Museum bookstore.

    I came across a book (Tolstoy's essays if I recall) of my grandmother's that had a stamp in the front indicating that it was from her lending library (charge of something like 1d a week) which considering she ran a haberdashery in Mitcham was probably just a couple of shelves.

    I think that anyone who is interested in 18th century history needs to have a copy of Thomas Paine's Common Sense in their Library.

    I would guess that there are no contemporary books on woodsman's skills because you didn't learn that from a book you learnt it from a woodsman.

    Thanks for sharing with us Jon, Lauren and Ivie. Enjoyed your coverage of libraries. Looking up some of those Old Books and how much they are now is unreal the value of some of them. I still haven't found a reasonable priced (to me) Black Powder Bible handbook that I'm looking for. Maybe some day?? Thanks for sharing this time with us, stay safe and keep up the fun you all have around there. Fred.

      I think he’s suggesting and emphasizing the lending aspect. Alexandria, what is known of it, was probably a massive collection for intellectuals to study there. Just a guess.
