Johnston, Students in the Reading Room of the Library of Congress with the Librarian of Congress, Herbert Putnam, Watching, 1899
On this day in 1802, Congress passed an act calling for a library to be established within the U.S. Capitol.
Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
Thomas Jefferson
