- The monumental Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., is one of the most elegant testaments to knowledge in the world. Charles Osgood was given a tour of the building as it underwent a massive, multi-million-dollar restoration, in a report that originally aired May 4, 1997.
In previous post I needed to explain my problem. Bible is registered with the Library of Congress. How can I find help in researching this amazing work.
They didn’t build it they just moved in
1997 when Bill Clinton is recovering from knee surgery after a fall damaging his tendon.
😎🤓🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇸🏴🏳️✝️Yes! But there’s another side to me too. People likes to use you as a rook. So, there are many times that I black out.
$90 Million?! WOW!! Who cares about the historical significance and beauty of a building or materialism? Ok, well, maybe somewhat? But, why not just digitalize everything for viewing/reading online, and sell all of those other expensive items on-hand to the highest bidder, and then use all of those funds to help our homeless and those struggling and suffering the most?!
$90 million is nothing. The Iraq war costs about $2 trillion dollars. So instead of complaining about a library which actually benefits a lot of people, complain about a war which was based on a lie and lined the pockets of Cheney and Halliburton.
That $90M provided jobs to craftsmen/women. It provided jobs to the people who made the materials they used.
You're such a short sighted individual. Smh.
It's the biggest library in the world. It rivals the internet in information. Netflix has like, what, 5000 titles? Netflix gets $25 Billion from it's customers. The library of congress only gets $700 Million from the taxpayer and it has ~200 million items. A whopping 40,000 times more, off of 3% the budget of Netflix. Which is more valuable: the preservation of the historical artifacts of the most valuable library on earth, or tens of millions of simple-minded primates being able to watch "The Gentlemen" simultaneously?
