Review:
The Library of Congress is not only the nation's oldest federal cultural institution that serves as the main research resource of Congress, but it is also the largest library in the world. It has over a million books of photographs, maps, and manuscripts in its archives. Fun and enjoyable for the whole family, the Library of Congress offers an array of guided tours, interactive exhibitions, and kiosks to explore.
Enjoy a free guided walking tour of the beautiful building in which the library is housed and learn all about its architecture, art, and history, as well as the work and history of the Library of Congress. The Young Readers Center was designed specifically for young people who love books, and it offers readings groups and story times.
