Reference Library Planned for Capitol Use
Washington's library authorities plan a capital reference library with major works from the fathers of the republic and leading political and historic writings. Duplicates will be culled from the catalog, and new purchases funded by the appropriation will provide an assistant collection of encyclopedias and mathematics and history works. Open shelf access is planned with attendants to aid readers, and the project aims to compile the main edition set for public reference in the capital building.
