100 years ago, the Washington Senators went from underdogs to World Series champs. Join us in the Library’s Madison Building (LM-621 West Dining Room) on 8/1 at noon to hear from author Gary Sarnoff on his new book Team of Destiny. https://t.co/i27AFjLaSX

One thing I miss about the pandemic--I could attend so many conferences since they were all virtual and didn't require traveling. Oh well, back to wishful thinking and reading recaps it is.

None of our books will help you figure out how to steal the Declaration of Independence from the @USNatArchives. 😒

3-year-old is skipping around singing “it’s me hi I’m the problem it’s me” and honestly it is so validating.

One of the most beloved free-to-use photos in the Library's collection is of Brünnhilde, for obvious reasons. We're happy to report that 2023 comes with a freshly digitized photograph of Brünnhilde from another angle. 😻

Will be proudly sworn-in to Congress on the U.S. Constitution. Underneath the Constitution will be 3 items that mean a lot to me personally. A photo of my parents who I lost to covid, my citizenship certificate & an original Superman #1 from the @librarycongress. 🇺🇸😊

Oh no, they suspended @danielradcliffe's Twitter account! Wasn't it obvious he was doing a PARODY???

[DCMalea @dcmalea]

Ok #LibraryTwitter, what platforms are you moving to? I get my best librarian news here, but I feel like a lot of us aren't sticking around much longer #librarylife

Lizzo plays a flute and one day later everyone's an expert on flutes. They should keep handing her instruments until we accidentally bring back music education

[Lynda Carter @RealLyndaCarter]

Heirloom instruments are meant to be played as part of their preservation. If you need an outlet for your anger at @lizzo, perhaps the Library of Congress has a historic chamber pot to lend out?

[DCMalea @dcmalea]

@dcpl Your DC historical collections! And promoting banned books.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

A flute @lizzo played in the Main Reading Room Monday (with permission from some lucky researchers who were there!) looks similar to the crystal one she had at her concert, but is actually plexiglass. It is also very rare & was manufactured when the material was first invented.🔊
