AuthorHouse Reviews the Library of Congress. AuthorHouse has one. There are over 123,000 of them in the U.S., and some estimates put the number worldwide at approximately 1,000,000. As self-published writers, there’s a good chance you even have one in your own home. What are we talking about? Libraries, of course. Today, though, AuthorHouse will discuss the library of libraries (in the United States, at least): the Library of Congress. The main reading room of the Library of Conress Established in 1800, the Library of Congress is the research library of the United States Congress, and the de facto national library of the U.S.
It had humble beginnings, with 740 books and three maps in 1800. Luckily, on January 30, 1815, Congress approved the purchase of Thomas Jefferson’s personnel library (6,487 books) for $23,950. The library’s collection was up to 55,000 volumes on December 24, 1851, when the largest fire in the library’s history destroyed 35,000 of them—2/3 of the collection. AuthorHouse looks at the Library of Congress today. AuthorHouse Releases Schedule of Complimentary Indie Author Book Signings.
