One month to go. One month tomorrow I will be flying out to the US for my Travelling Librarian trip.

My library, the Vere Harmsworth Library. In the Rothermere American Institute. The Library of Congress in Washington, DC. My itinerary and schedule of visits can be seen on a separate page on this blog. One month to go.
