January 19, 2009: Rare Books Added to Chicago's Newberry Library
"Chicago's Newberry Library recently got a collection of nearly 5,000 books from a seminary. It features some rare items."
"The Newberry is cataloging the books from the McCormick Theological Seminary. The books were sitting in a locked room, and some had never been studied. The library's curator of rare books, Paul Saenger, says it's like going on an archeological dig."
