国会图书馆 (The Library of Congress) 正式对外开放
1897111

你觉得国会图书馆有多大呢?国会图书馆一开始其实只有一个房间而已,也就是在华盛顿特区国会大厦里的国会阅览室 (Congressional Reading Room) 。不过,当藏书与其他资料越来越丰富,美国图书馆就需要自己的大楼了。国会图书馆的第一栋大楼在1897111日正式对外开放,而这栋建筑物真是雄伟呀!


How big do you think the Library of Congress is? It was originally in one room, the Congressional Reading Room in the Capitol in Washington, D.C. As the collection grew, America's Library needed a building of its own. The first Library of Congress building opened its doors to the public on November 1, 1897, and it was quite a sight!
