The creativity and knowledge of the American people can be found at the Library of Congress. If there is a book or recording of great or little note, chances are you'll find it at the Library. In fact, this is the largest library in the world! Founded to be used mostly as a research facility for members of Congress, the Library of Congress is also a first-class research facility for other citizens.
But it’s not a place where you can check out books – oh no, this is a place to view first editions by classic authors such as Twain and Fitzgerald, or modern writers like King. Biographies, fiction, medical, scientific, and pretty much any other book can be found here. And you’ll be blown away by the amazing architecture and interior décor.
The Library of Congress is open Mondays through Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
