You really do need to have a specific goal to get best access to the Cary Collection. It is not a browsing library. Unless you come with a rather specific thing you would like to see or research, you may not find the experience all that beneficial. Also send your request in advance so it can be waiting for you when you arrive. The contents of that library are amazing.

yeah, I've been there before. Just wondering if anyone who is familiar with thhe collection might have something specific in mind that they were blown away by.
