THE SMART GUIDE<br />

INSIDE THE<br />

HEART OF<br />

KNOWLEDGE<br />

ONE OF THE MOST revered spaces dedicated to history and learning in the U.S. has<br />

become more accessible. The Library of Congress has opened a door to its most opulent<br />

area: the Main Reading Room. Located in the 126-year-old Thomas Jefferson Building, it<br />

was previously reserved for researchers and academics but now visitors can enter for one<br />

hour in the morning and one in the afternoon Tuesdays to Friday. A stunning room in its<br />

own right, with a 160-foot-high dome, this repository of so much information—historically<br />

important material from the U.S. and from around the world—takes the breath away. To<br />

encourage further access, an orientation center is being built just below the Main Reading<br />

Room, which will include a rotating “treasures gallery” of its most prized possessions.<br />
