You don't wear gloves when touching old manuscripts, as it's easy to accidentally damage the paper due to lack of tactile feedback from gloves. The preferred method is with clean, dry hands.
I not happy with letting people touch or play with Historical artifacts like President James Madison my third cousin six times removed flute.. totally upset about this I just can’t believe it….
the British library and library of congress are really about the same size when it comes to how many items they have. Both are crowning jewels of libraries and information.
If the government really cared about feeding the worlds hungry..these items could be auctioned off to those who really appreciate books and collectibles and use the money to help the world and end our country's dept!
I agree that we need to live the world put of poverty! It will make the entire world better. We have tons of existing wealth to be redistributed in a lopsided society and need to do so. Auctioning original works is questionable because it means they could disappear from the public eye. These documents need to be duplicated, protected & shared as world knowledge 🌏🌎🌍
I wouldn’t won’t to leave. No matter how virtual we become I will always love books
It's the library for the entire world to enjoy, to acknowledge and to get enlightened from!
I have to take my daughter to the Library of Congress she loves books 📚
She can’t see the books, you have to have a legitimate reason to use that library

We may have lost the library of alexandria, but look how far we’ve come…
Why aren't they wearing gloves when touching these historical items?
They could have been reproductions, not the original.

I feel like the fluorescent lights would've been more dangerous too

The british library would question the LOC's claim of being the biggest.
The british library is way smaller
@Felipe I'll say whatever I like.
British couldn’t even keep an empire, much less have the largest library in the world. USA#1
