國會圖書館 (The Library of Congress) 正式對外開放
1897111

你覺得國會圖書館有多大呢?國會圖書館一開始其實只有一個房間而已,也就是在華盛頓特區國會大廈裡的國會閱覽室 (Congressional Reading Room) 。不過,當藏書與其他資料越來越豐富,美國圖書館就需要自己的大樓了。國會圖書館的第一棟大樓在1897111日正式對外開放,而這棟建築物真是雄偉呀!


How big do you think the Library of Congress is? It was originally in one room, the Congressional Reading Room in the Capitol in Washington, D.C. As the collection grew, America's Library needed a building of its own. The first Library of Congress building opened its doors to the public on November 1, 1897, and it was quite a sight!
