JISCMail - ARCHIVES-NRA Archives

***** Apologies if somebody has already mentioned this ***** The character
of Henry DeTamble in The Time Travellers Wife is a Special Collections
Librarian at the Newberry Library in Chicago. The scenes featuring Henry in
the library (both clothed and otherwise) were filmed in the Newberry.

Out of interest, if you haven't read the book, it is worth reading.
