Suz Massen, Chief of Public Services at the Frick Art Reference Library was gracious enough to come in and speak to my Intro to Reference class at Pratt Institute this week and I was surprised and excited to find out that the Frick Library is freely available to the public!

Here are five amazing libraries you might not realize you have access to: 1.) The Library of Congress The Main Reading Room in the Library of Congress includes a collection of over 66, 000 volumes, their Computer Catalogue Center, and access to over 800 databases, around 600 of which can only be used on-site at the library. In order to gain access to this beautiful and information-rich environment, you need only get a Reader Identification Card issued by the Library. 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.)
