Your support for the Library of Congress will help bring the unparalleled resources of our nation’s library to the American public and the world. By doing so, together we can touch the imagination, inspire creativity, and cultivate and celebrate achievement. When Thomas Jefferson helped restore the Library of Congress in 1814, he expressed “an ardent desire to see knowledge so disseminated through the mass of mankind that it may at length reach the extremes of society: beggars and kings.” You can help bring Jefferson’s vision to life by ensuring the world’s largest and most inclusive collection of human creativity is accessible to all. Make a meaningful contribution to our nation’s cultural legacy—support the Library in preserving the insights of the past, gathering the knowledge of the present, and developing wisdom for the future.
