- The "Library of Congress" is the largest library in the world. Built in 1897, the Library houses two copies of every item for which a person wants a copyright. The largess of the Library is due, in part, to the sheer number of copyright applications from crappy public access shows and crack-pot invention patents archived there. In addition to the clutter from the crazies, the Library has an impressive collection of artwork and books. The "Treaty of Peace" between Stephen and Barry Manilow (signed October 30, 2006) is also housed at the Library.

- The Library of Congress is the United States' oldest federal cultural institution and serves as the research arm of Congress. It is also the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, maps and manuscripts in its collections. Three Canons of Selection, established in the 1940s, define the collections:
* materials necessary to the Congress and to the U.S. Government officers in performance of their duties;
* materials that express and record the life and achievements of the people of the United States; and
* records of other societies and peoples, especially those of most immediate concern to the people of the United States. The Library's mission is to make its resources available and useful to the Congress and to the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations. The Office of the Librarian is tasked to set policy and to direct and support programs and activities to accomplish the Library's mission. The Library serves five audiences: 1.
* Congress — The library provides research support, policy analysis, and training through the Congressional Research Service; 2.
* Professional library world — The library provides cataloging and other bibliographic services and leadership on library technology; 3.
* Executive agencies — The library provides information resources; 4.
* Scholars — The library provides research collections and support; and 5.
* Creative world — The library protects products and preserves traditions.

Located in four buildings in Washington, D.C., as well as the Packard Campus in Culpeper, Virginia, it is the largest library in the world by shelf space and number of books. The head of the Library is the Librarian of Congress, currently James H. Billington. The Library of Congress was instituted for Congress in 1800, and was housed in the United States Capitol for most of the 19th century. After much of the original collection had been destroyed during the War of 1812, Thomas Jefferson sold 6,487 books, his entire personal collection, to the library in 1815. After a period of decline during the mid-19th century the Library of Congress began to grow rapidly in both size and importance after the American Civil War, culminating in the construction of a separate library building and the transference of all copyright deposit holdings to the Library. During the rapid expansion of the 20th century the Library of Congress assumed a preeminent public role, becoming a "library of last resort" and expanding its mission for the benefit of scholars and the American people. The Library's primary mission is researching inquiries made by members of Congress through the Congressional Research Service. Although it is open to the public, only Library employees, Members of Congress, Supreme Court justices and other high-ranking government officials may check out books. As the de facto national library, the Library of Congress promotes literacy and American literature through projects such as the American Folklife Center, American Memory, Center for the Book and Poet Laureate.
