Over the next couple of days I'll play catch up with my trip to the Library of Congress.
From the outside you really would not know just how incredible the inside of the building is.
Here's a little about the Library from its web page:
Today's Library of Congress is an unparalleled world resource. The collection of more than 151 million items includes more than 34.5 million cataloged books and other print materials in 470 languages; more than 66.6 million manuscripts; the largest rare book collection in North America; and the world's largest collection of legal materials, films, maps, sheet music and sound recordings.
