I'm a bit of a reader myself and I'm very amused and satisfied by this video. Also, I'm very impressed by the fact that they're still able to keep books that were written back in the old,old,old, OLD days...
SmileyPudding Man hi
Hello to you good sir/ma'am
I've noticed that you are saying hi to everyone in this comment section.
Chris is ok Must be some polite Butter.
Chris is ok hello
"How can I help you?"
"Ahhh yeah, may I borrow Mozart and Beethoven's original sheets, the original bible, first comic book to have been ever made: Marvel and DC included, a couple of newspapers highlighting important events and the first map to have ever been made, including Columbus' map just for extra information.
"Ok"
"Oh and do you know where to set up a ebay account by any chance, I need to sell a couple of things..."
"Do you have your library card?"
I've got the 1943 Vintage classic card, and that's part of this library too
Hasan Efendi aa
this channel is so underrated
Mohammed Zoheb meh, I prefer this less crowded channel rather than having millions of people viewing it and leaving childish comments... but yeah, you would need millions of people watching vids in a channel to make profits so I would love to enjoy this less crowded moments while it lasts.
+Ario Budiarto totally correct, although the kind of effort they put in to make all these videos needs to be accredited by the world
Mohammed Zoheb I'm sure there will be a moment when the world pays attention to this channel someday :)
I agree
IKR!! I mean their videos are amazing! and I thought this kind of vids are more youtube is all about - gives you useful information other than unimportant stuffs like many youtubers doing nowadays duh
All these crispy sounds are satisfying as heck
i am not a collection guy but this library is amazing
fool boy what is a "collection guy"?
he is a guy who collects various things as a hobby
Wtf? Being a librarian is awesome! I find hard copies very important. Especially nowadays, people are into digital stuffs which does not last forever not like those hard copies. Hands down to those collectors and librarians.
Both digital stuff and hard copies don’t last forever, and both are equally important
_talk about hoarding_
White Heterosexual Male hi
White Heterosexual Male shut it you white heterosexual male
@@connorh5335 Could it also be called preservation for the people?
I went there once. The art on the ceiling is worth the trip alone.
I'm just imaging the fresh library smell that place must have.
As an artist who works for videogames.. and seeing games disappear forever since their rights are gone or bigger companies remove old games so that they can show the NEW ones (Like the very first mafia) and make consumers forget about old ones hurts very much. WE need a library for games.. its burning of art if we dont have it
You can find some dankest middle age memes in there if you believe in yourself.

Oi, hath thou not seeneth the meme depicting thy field of little fucks to give?
New list to the Bucket List :3
evilcupcake 007 what else is in your list
this channel should grow ! ..
Bishal Basnet hi
Bishal Basnet hi
This channel is so interesting! I love it.
HERE IN MY GARAGE WITH MY LAMBERGINI AND ALL THIS KNAWLEDGE !
Scout The fox hi
Scout The fox your spelling tells me you have no knowledge
+celine spelling don't have shit to do with having a 30 billion dollars networth
how much manga is in that library
I think you should visit *Tokyo Metropolitan Library* instead
and ghibli museum
hopefully none
ユーネト / Yuuneto not all manga is from Japan tho. They are from all around the world
Any manga published in the United States will actually be there. All publishers in the United States are required by law to make a copy of their books available to the Library of Congress.
I once had a dream to become a librarian in a big library.
I also sometimes imagine myself living in DC and going to the library of congress although I'm not even a US citizen.
2:00
I just found my dream job.
Thanks for sharing!
This is so amazing! Currently in school for librarianship, Library of Congress is a dream job O.O
Ok I was not expecting her to whip out 50 Cent in the music archives lmao I was thinking more classical music lmao
Make it a series!
So much knowledge...
We shouldnt call them librarians, we should call them the receivers of knowledge
We should call them knowledge seekers like from avatar.
Archivalists ?
I don’t understand: “receivers of knowledge” encompasses all types of librarians. All librarians are stewards of knowledge, and are to be respected as such
i really love vids like this
When I grow older, I want to always read in a library as cool as the library of congress.
I'd love to visit a library like this someday, as a reader, and history-nut.
Amazing library!
Speechless
amazing! !
Catigraph Reignmark hi
I think I just teared up
"Excuse me, do you have a copy of 50 shades of grey?"
"I'm sorry, we don't have that in our library."
2:55 Never thought I’d see that next to an X-men comic.
How I wish this video was longer
Wish I could live there.
Lily Raimey hi
Me too
Hello.
Let's all live there and become part of the collection.
I love you guys, can you please do the Metropolitan museum of art in NYC next?
Hey, Bornholm, I've seen that picture thing before, you can still buy those if you ever bother to go there.
Ps. Bother to go, it's an amazing little island, even has a giant castle ruin on top of a giant cliff next to the ocean.
Most beautiful building in North America
I've been there and it is so beautiful 😍
Wow. Even comics.
WOW.. just wow..
Would love to go visit there and see how big the collection is.
Golden Trout you'd have to get special permission to go inside their, though you could look at it through the Jefferson Building.
I need to go to this place so badly
"wtf?" at 2:55 --> freeze-frame if you need to..
"negro comics"
"negro comics"u
Bornholm! Great to see that there @ 1:26 the most beautiful island in Denmark.
I want *EVERYTHING* about Hamilton
Oh My God!!!! Ahhh! I need to go there!!!
i love u. so cool best channel ever
If only KC had a comparable library 📚 ❤️
at the start this reminded me of the desert library from The Last Airbender
Is it just me OR THIS CHANNEL NEEDS MORE SUBSCRIBERS?!?!?!?!?!?
Little story incoming. At 1:25 there is a map of an little danish island that i grew up on. And I have cycled the island around, starting at "Nexø" and finishing at "Snogbæk" now you may continue watching the video :-D
is there a Pacific war news pages ? i were looking it for these few days
I wonder how much their magazine and newspaper subscriptions cost a *day.*
😏 As one that LOVES history and organizing, personally I think it'd be pretty cool & fun to work there. Even if it was just digitally scanning all the hard copies so as to have backups! 😁
this is like heaven 😍i want to go there
quisiera ver eso 😻 wow!!!
Damn, i surely be crazy in that library.
it's freaking cool
Out of all maps.. A map of Bornholm 1:25. I find that very funny, dunno why
HejManden Jeg blev overrasket da jeg så det
Thats a really nice place, a lot of flammable materials all over the place. It would be a real shame if that place caught fire
Funny enough, two large fires burned down the library in its history. The first one not being so damaging, the second one burning over 2/3rds of the librarys collection at the time. The government then commissioned a new library to be built of entirely fireproof materials to avoid another disaster and VOILA! The Jefferson Library was born
Man, I want to go in there.
I would live in that comic section
I want to smell those papers! 😂
Klaus would love this
Paradise
If it was allowed I would straight up live in the Library of Congress.....amazing.
owlislike I basically did when writing my thesis...was there from open to close most nights for a few months. It's magical!
Feel like a real life Wes Anderson film set
i soooooo want to go to the library of congress!!!!
They even have 50 cent's get rich or die trying album cover #GETTHESTRAP
I wanna go there and I don't even really like reading.. it sounds like a peaceful place..
you guys should do a video about Debbie "The Rat Lady" Ducommun
So how does one become chief of something something section in the Library of Congress?
I would want to work there.
Looks like a museum to me
the ultimate hoarder
Dank
Amar Original hi
History is very important to mankind's education because without it, we are doomed to rebeat it.
"So what are you looking for today?"
me: do you guys have Spaceballs: The Porno?
how about a book about squishies?
Friend : Dude you hoard too much stuff
Me : No I don't!
Friend: Ok tell me about everything you have in your bedroom.
Me :
1:25 Yay! Bornholm! 😂 🇩🇰
Alexander Schmidt Det er lidt mærkeligt af alle de kort de har, så viser de Bornholm 😂
They got 50 cent. They're definitely legit.
It sucks that it mainly keeps track of US history.
SpockLogic not at all, the Congrees library keep records and books for almost every country, I had find myself very good documents, maps, and sources about my own country history in their database.
That's great to know, thanks for the clarification.
It only seems logical!! *wink wink*
the archive library probably stores more info than my 1 terabyte ssd or 50%+ of it.
Probably much much more than it
I want to go there
I'm surfing vids about libraries because my local one is closed on account of covid. Boy do I miss it.
Sometimes I try to avoid these videos because they are too good... But then I just watch them anyway
Ash hi
That makes no sense.
LOOK AT ALL THOSE KNOWLEDGE
I wanna live there.
Look at all those KNAWLEDGE
I want to live there now :(
Omg might go there to see Rick Riordan!
_-[laughs in Library of Babel]-_
that _smell of old books_
I used to work with Melea! She's a really nice lady. She told me I should become a librarian too! Haha
bullshit
Back in my day this library only had 16 books
It would be damn devastating if this place caught fire. This is probably too negative but I don't know why I think about these things 😰
I'm sure they have thought of that.
Game Addiction I know but even a match could cause major damage to the library haha. especially the old books with skinny pages burn like gasoline
@@rambojohn9041 I can sympathize with that thought :'(
I honestly thought of that too. But let's pray it never happens.
Wait you mean I can find an array of explicit books there
Hi
Nuriddin Tussupbek Hi butter.
+Ned Gold whaaaa

White Heterosexual Male hi
