We learned today that the Congressional Library is a library that you can't check books out of. The building is expansive and adorned with statues, paintings, and mosiacs througout. In fact it was one of the first buildings in Washington to have electricity built in. Be sure to ask how each room repeats themes in its details and decoration.
The library houses a magnificent collection representing the knowledge of the world including the original Thomas Jefferson book collection that he sold to the US government.
