The Library of Congress is the largest library in the world. Our mission is to engage, inspire, and inform Congress and the American people with a universal and enduring source of knowledge and creativity. While we provide access to millions of books, photographs, maps and more in our collections, we also host hundreds of public events each year including lectures, author talks, concerts, poetry readings and film screenings. The purpose of this Flickr account is to share photo and video coverage of Library events and of beautiful Library spaces. The Library has hosted world leaders, entertainers, scholars, authors and sports legends. From our National Book Festival to our popular concert series to curators sharing fascinating discoveries from the Library’s collections, this account will give you a taste of what life is like at the Library of Congress.
