Abstract
On April 24, 1800, the Library of Congress (LC) was established as an act of Congress under a bill by President John Adams. Housed in the Capitol Building, the LC exclusively provided reference materials to members of Congress. It signified the beginning of what would become a vast and comprehensive network of federal libraries, serving both the government and the public. Today, LC is the largest library in the world, and houses millions of books, manuscripts, legal documents, films, maps, and audio recordings.
