The Library of Congress is not at all like you might expect it to be. Of course, it is the largest library in the world, but it is also a huge building with lots of hallways and side rooms with locked doors. It is very accessible, but also somewhat mysterious. There are crowds of people in the main entry area and in some of the exhibits, but the rest of the building is quiet and quite empty. You would expect more books, but almost all you see are in the Main Reading Room. I will be writing a lot more about the Library in the near future.
