U of I has the largest collection of children's books in the country, outside of the Library of Congress. Pretty impressive, I must say, especially for one who wants to be a children's librarian. The other day I was studying at the main library and decided to take a field trip down to the Education Library which is in the same building, and houses all of these glorious picture books. It's crazy how, once you're in there, you feel like you're in an actual school. From the checkered floors to the posters on the walls, all I needed was a Weekly Reader and some #2 pencils.
