📚 On April 24, 1800, John Adams signed an act of Congress that set aside $5,000 to purchase such books as may be necessary for the use of Congress.

📚 That decision created the Library of Congress, which began with just 740 books and three maps housed in the new Capitol Building.

📚 After the British burned the original collection during the War of 1812, Thomas Jefferson helped rebuild it by selling his personal library of 6,487 books to the government.

📚 Today, it has grown into the largest library in the world--a symbol of our nation’s commitment to knowledge and often called the “research room” of America or the Nation's Library.

Did you know that as of 2022, 88% of the 98,577 public schools in the U.S. had a library media center? That’s millions of students with access to books, technology, and spaces that spark curiosity and a lifelong love of learning!

But imagine if that number were 100%. That’s why it’s more important than ever to celebrate and advocate for the incredible impact of school libraries and the librarians who bring them to life.

Here’s to strong school libraries and the passionate professionals who make them magical!
