How on earth do you find what you need?
is it really necessary to have titanic libraries like that, i mean common.
redicolous and a waste of money.
PS: i also aggree with jbkkd.
It’s not a waste. It’s beautiful and inspiring. Those books are the basis of a lot of what is written today, and the library is used often. Even if every one of those books were put into an internet database, I’d still want them there. They are precious.
waste of money!! books contain a wealth of knowledge, do u consider knowledge a waste? i wud absolutley LOVE to go to this library, i wud quite happily live there
That’s not one just library. The pictures are from tons of different libraries. The pictures are from the book “Libraries” by Candida Hofer and Umberto Eco.
i think its not waste of money – you can find every book you need here and you won’t searching everywhere for a book : ) i think its really pretty too
i love it
how could say thats a waste of money!!???books are the very things that can hold every detail and story that has ever been thought up or experienced!!!every book in that library is a precious treasure that holds meaning 2 millions of different people….and besides its all at the same place so you dont have 2 look very far….only 500miles!!;P
I would love to visit just to see some of the books
The architecture looks too amazing for words.
its very beautiful i want same library in my country too.i’d luv it because it broadens our mind wid knowledge.
U know, I do research at the LoC and I think its Amazing. They bring your books for you, although it takes 2 hoers sometimes, but they do. I love, especially, the Manuscript Division, which not many people know of. Its where I do most of my research.
LC is a great place to be. Its NOT fun, but soothing and quite.
U should try to visit if anybody ever makes it to my great city Washington DC, the Capital of the World ( in my opinion).
how long does it take for one to get retrieve information material he or she require because compare to the one i’m working with it is a thousand time and i think in the near future i will organize a visit to LC to see it for myself whether it is true such a thing exist
118 million items…amazing!
I have to visit this place.
how i wished i can see it live. its wonderful and great
oh.. its really big i wish too,i can go there…..
Oh my Gosh!!!!How I wish I could take a look of it just outside the huge building!I am a working scholar @ La Salle University on my 2nd yr in college now and I am proud that I am taking Bachelor of Library in Information Science!!!!!
I think the library looks amazing and spectacular. Out of all the things in the world that is a waste of money–welfare being one of them–this has to be the most non waste of money. It is just amazing. I would love to just visit the library and roam up and down the hallway. Gazing at every book. Writing is a beautiful art.
wow please allowed for day
wow…too amazing for words, I live up in the north, and the library we have cannot even try to compare to these. I would love to get lost in one of these libraries..I would die a happy person.
