Gilmore Girls visit Harvard (3/15/2005) We headed off across a large green lawn, sipping our coffee and absorbing all the scenery. Coffee plus Harvard. Now it was really perfect. Then I saw it. The thing that until now I'd only managed to worship from afar. It was right there, in front of me. I stopped walking and gazed up at its white columns with respect. "Oh my." "What's this?" Mom asked. "The library!" "Oh." "The biggest library I've ever seen!" I stared at it, somewhat overwhelmed. Mom checked her guidebook for the facts. "Uh oh. Brace yourself." "What?" I asked. "This is just one of the libraries," she said. "One of the libraries?" "This building is one component of a thirteen-million-volume collection housed in more than ninety different libraries," she announced. "It's the oldest library in the United States, and the largest academic library in the world." I stared at the building. How could one building be so incredible? From Gilmore Girls: I Do, Don't I?  , adapted by Catherine Clark from the television series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino.
