The Library of Congress occupies three buildings on Capitol Hill. The Thomas Jefferson Building (1897) is the original separate Library of Congress building. (The Library began in 1800 inside the U.S. Capitol.) The John Adams Building was built in 1938 and the James Madison Memorial Building was completed in 1981. Other facilities include the High Density Storage Facility (2002) at Fort Meade, Md., and the Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation (2007) in Culpeper, Va.
Working at the Library
What We DoThe Library of Congress offers exceptional opportunities to perform meaningful and unique work in a collaborative environment, one that values personal growth and achievement. The Library's reach is wide: preserving and disseminating materials that are the essence of American culture and knowledge; supporting and informing lawmakers; and protecting intellectual property domestically and internationally.
The Library of Congress serves the Congress in fulfilling its duties and preserves and promotes knowledge and creativity for the benefit of the American people. It is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and the world's largest library, with more than 160 million items in its physical collections (including books, manuscripts, prints, photos, film, video, and sound recordings) and over 52 million items online. Located primarily on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., the Library is the home of the U.S. Copyright Office, the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the Law Library of Congress, and the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped.
The Library of Congress is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity. The Library encourages women, minorities, people with disabilities, and veterans to apply.
