Review of Folger Shakespeare Library

This is probably going to be the most random review I've ever written but I want to share this story. I visited 8 years ago when I was 19. I was on a trip with my family and I was dying to go here. My dad walked the very long walk with me to the library. This was before everyone had smart phones so we used a paper map to find our way there. We got there at 4:58, no idea that it closed at 5. I remember feeling so crushed when we were told by a staff member they were closing and I think she could tell because she gave me and my dad a quick tour of the place.
I don't remember your name, I dont know if you still work there even or if you'd remember me, I don't know if you'll ever even see this but I want you to know that 8 year later I still remember your kindness. I still remember you giving us a tour of the place when you didn't have to. I remember that part of my trip more vividly than any other because I was just a 19 year old girl who had been obsessed with Shakespeare since she was 12 and the only thing I really wanted to do on my trip was see this library. And because of you I did and I will never forget that.
