520 1 |a "The Nation's Library, a collaboration between the Library and Scala Publishers, is a celebration of, and a guide to this complex institution - one of the greatest cultural and intellectual resources in the world. The text, punctuated by color illustrations, leads the reader through the Library's history and present-day organization and services. Photographs of the Library's three buildings on Washington's Capitol Hill - including the original Library building, an architectural treasure opened in 1897 - are interspersed with views of some of the eclectic treasures housed in this repository of international culture. These include founding documents of the American Republic, Japanese fine prints, Arabic calligraphy, rare illustrated books, maps, music and musical instruments, posters, comic books, architectural drawings, hallmark documents in the history of science, and historic photographs." "For those who will visit the Library in person or via the Internet, the book also includes information on the subject areas in each of the Library's 22 reading rooms, hours of operation, general procedures for conducting research in the Library, and on the ever-expanding Library of Congress Web Site. The Nation's Library thus makes the Library's storehouse of knowledge immediate and accessible to people around the world."--Jacket.
