About The Library Of Congress

The Library of Congress, founded in 1800, is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and the world's largest library. Some of those items were donated by President Thomas Jefferson after the British burned the new Capitol and Library in 1814. Located in Washington, D.C. across from the U.S. Capitol Building, the Library of Congress contains approximately 119 million items and has roughly 530 miles of bookshelves, making it one of the world's most informative venues.
