Library Of Congress, Washington, DC
Open since 1897, you’ll get a peek at our country’s architectural roots at America’s oldest federal institution. All on top of capitol hill in three buildings. The library is home to more than 164 million items, from books to photos to recordings to maps and much more. It also serves as a museum, with many exhibits inside the incredible Thomas Jefferson Building.
All the Library of Congress’ buildings can be entered free of charge, but you can get the best visitor experience inside the Library’s Thomas Jefferson Building, where you will be impressed upon walking through the door. Gilded Age architecture makes the inside a visual masterpiece worthy of housing the immense amount of knowledge that it holds.
Snap some photos while exploring the building’s many exhibits!
The pharaohs would be proud of our next library…..

i d like to seeall of them did see NYC PBLIC LIBRARY
The Air Force Academy Library in Colorado is supposed to be quite impressive too. I’ve only seen the outside. Maybe it’s not considered a public library.
EACH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE NEXT!!!
When I was in high school, research was done at the library.
Going downtown was a treat.
I remember spending as much time exploring the library as I did on research each time I visited. It was breathtaking for someone from a small town with a one room, but very clean and efficient public library.
