Did anyone else have a library class in middle school? Like… we legitimately had a class in our library where we learned how to classify books using the Dewey Decimal System, learned how to research and cite information, learned how to use encyclopedias and almanacs, etc.

Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

I’ve spent the last 18 months writing about the Roman Empire. In some ways, we’ve progressed immeasurably far in the last 1500 years. But there are still too many things about contemporary politics that I think would have felt all too familiar to them. I persist in my optimism that we can do better.
