国会图书馆第九任馆长阿契博得.麦克列许 (Archibald MacLeish) 出生了
189257

在他担任国会图书馆馆的时候,麦克列许重新整顿了图书馆,并且努力增加读者对图书馆的使用。第二次世界大战爆发后,他将许多重要的文档与书籍,例如独立宣言等,送到诺克斯堡 (Fort Knox) ,以确保这些文档的安全。为战争效力,他24小时开放国会图书馆给美军事情报人员。

While he was Librarian of Congress, MacLeish reorganized the Library and worked to "increase the use of the Library to its readers." With the start of World War II, he also kept the collection safe by sending important pieces, like the Declaration of Independence, to Fort Knox. He also kept the nation's Library open to U.S. military intelligence 24 hours a day for the war effort.
