Library of Congress
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Weekday mornings right when doors open at 8:30 AM are the quietest, letting you enjoy the Great Hall nearly to yourself. Spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather for walking over from the Capitol or Supreme Court.

Teave
Kiired faktid: Peamine lugemissaal on 160 jala kõrguse kupliga laega ja raamatukogu hoiab üle 175 miljoni eseme 470 keeles. Thomas Jefferson müüs oma isikliku 6487 raamatust koosneva raamatukogu Kongressile 1815. aastal pärast seda, kui Briti väed põletasid 1812. aasta sõja ajal algse kogu.
Esiletõstmised: Astuge Suurde saali ja vaadake üles: 75 jala kõrgune vitraažkatuselatern särab teie kohal, ümbritsetuna marmorsammastest ja kullatud kaartest. Gutenbergi Piibel, üks ainult kolmest täiuslikust pärgamentkoopiast maailmas, asub kliimakontrolliga kapslis, selle 15. sajandi tint endiselt selge ja loetav.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Enter through the Jefferson Building's ground-floor door on First Street SE, not the main steps, to skip the security queue on busy days.
- Stand at the exact center of the Main Reading Room's floor and whisper: the 160-foot dome creates a perfect acoustical focal point.
- Visit the second-floor mezzanine for the best photo angle looking down into the Main Reading Room without the crowds.
- The cafeteria in the Madison Building is reasonably priced and has outdoor seating, far better than the overpriced carts on the National Mall.
