Optional Reading Station: The Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

The Library of Congress is the nation’s library. It contains two copies of most books that have ever been printed, and is the largest library in the world. This is where we get Library of Congress cataloging from. Remember last week? Although you’ll probably never check a book out of the Library of Congress—most people aren’t allowed to—you should check out their extensive online holdings of digitized books, pictures, and music.
