Reading in the library and realizing it is sometimes easy to take for granted the sea of information available at our fingertips. Even amidst all the noise online, well-researched-and-written policy reports, the very ones guiding the Empire of Liberty no less, are available just two clicks away.

An e-ink reader open to the cover page of the NATIONAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY report from November 2022.  Beneath it, a leather case for a notebook lays open.  Next to it, a Casio watch displays the time and thriftiness of its owner.
