The Library of Congress is the closest thing we have to a National library. Its location is off the east end of the national mall. It serves congress, but that is only part of its job. It is often considered the world's largest library.
Among a thousand duties, the library of congress issues cataloging numbers to books it deems sufficiently significant. I'm lucky in that it considers my books in that category.
The building and its rooms are spectacular. What a wonderful monument to books!
