occupies an important crossroads in American life, a place where the nation's political
and literary cultures intersect. Created by Congress in 1800, it has evolved into
a multi-faceted cultural institution serving a national and international audience
through a wide array of programs, activities, and outreach. It is the major research
arm of the US Congress, America's national library, the nation's copyright agency,
and an important innovator and partner in electronic and digital network development.
In America's Greatest Library, Library of Congress Historian John Y. Cole highlights
the history, personalities, collections, and events that have created and sustained
this singular institution. Packed with fascinating stories, compelling images, and
little-known nuggets of information, this illustrated history traces the growth of
the collections of the world's largest library through a combination of concise chronological
milestones, brief essays, vivid photographs, and illustrations." -- From publisher's
