(( The Virginia State Library moved two blocks down Richmond's Broad
Street... and picked up enough space for two side by side football fields to
fit on each of its six floors.
In fact, its shelving, laid end to end, would stretch for 55 1/2 miles.
Governor Allen wanted to know if he brought his laptop, could he plug into
the library's rapidly expanding computer archives?
Yes he can.
In fact it's encouraged.
