The Library of Congress has brought many of its websites back
online including the NLS BARD service, despite the continuing
government shutdown.  No reason is given for the change of heart,
though keeping a website online has minimal costs.  We wouldn't
expect to see any new books posted during the shutdown, but
existing titles and the BARD app are once again available.
Follow the link on this post for the press release, including the
Library of Congress spelling the word government as goverment.
Thanks to @jahmallovato on Twitter for the tip.
