The Largest Library in the World

 Alissar in front of the first building (Jefferson Building) of the Library of Congress.

Words cannot begin to describe how beautiful this library is.

The Main Reading Room.

Thomas Jefferson's 6,487 books that were purchased by Congress in 1814 because the British had burnt the nation's Capitol earlier.

The first time that the word "America" appears written, was on this map. If you look at the lower left-hand side you can see how wrong the geography was! Lol
