Washington National Cathedral ponders sale of rare books
The Washington National Cathedral in our nation's capital is considering a sale of some of the rare books housed in their library. The cathedral has slashed its budget nearly in half due to the economic turmoil in our country. Unfortunately, they cannot afford to maintain the upkeep on some many valuable artifacts including volumes donated by Queen Elizabeth II and Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie and a Dutch Bible that was the first written in modern language. The sheer amount of history possibly held in their library is astounding!
