"Vatican Library closure irks scholars"
"One of the world's oldest public libraries, the Vatican Library, has closed
for rebuilding.
It is not expected to reopen before September 2010.
The reading rooms were unusually full last week.
Bespectacled university professors, graduate students from famous
universities around the world, monks wearing brown and black habits, and
Biblical researchers from more than 50 countries were sitting elbow-to-elbow
at desks piled with documents and crowded with laptops and ancient
manuscripts.
They were working desperately against time to complete their work before the
closing down for the next three years of this powerhouse of academic
research."
