I love my school! Our librarians rock!
Also we have a hermetically sealed, temperature controlled room with awesome book treasures in it...like this original Geneva Bible from 1584 (ish). One day I was allowed in and got to peek through the pages (wearing white gloves, of course, lest the skin oils on my fingertips damage the aged pages.)
A little closer look at these pages...

Oh that kitten face! What a great sign. Love the old bible too.
Annie, I know, kitty cracks me up every time!
When we viewed the old Bible, our prof was telling about the protestants of the day risking their lives to smuggle Bibles into England from Geneva...maybe even this very Bible...was such a sacred moment.
