The Reading Room of the African and Near Eastern Division (AMED) offers
a sheltering environment to those performing research involving the
countries and languages of this broad expanse of the world. It is here
that works in a wide variety of formats in these custodial languages
are requested and where researchers may confer with specialists to
plan an effective research methodology for their stay at the Library
of Congress. A broad array of services is available in the reading
room to foster the success of each project.
