No, but it does have millions of books and printed materials, maps, manuscripts, photographs, films, audio and video recordings, prints and drawings, and other special collections. Get more detailed statistics.<br /><br />How does the Library acquire its holdings? The Library receives new materials through exchange with libraries in this country and abroad, gifts, materials received from local, state and federal agencies as well as foreign governments, purchase, and copyright deposits. Thousands of items are added to the collections of the Library each working day. Selection officers review materials and decide which should be kept and added to the permanent collections. Copyright deposits make up the core of the collections, particularly those in the map, music, motion picture, and prints and photographs divisions.<br /><br />Couldn't find out what they did with old books, but found this article on surplus books: https://www.loc.gov/acq/surplus.html<br /><br />Calen~ (https://promptlings.wordpress.com/) (My connection dropped out in the middle of trying to post this.

Fortunately, Michigan has an eLibrary that allows you to borrow from any library in the state that has the book you want to read. Have no idea what the national library does with all of theirs.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147049442316958074.post-9895598829228502742017-06-15T13:35:05.407-04:002017-06-15T13:35:05.407-04:00Cool, cool video!
