LIBRARY OF CONGRESS is a lyrical tribute to one of America's great public institutions, and the diverse cultures that make up the American population. One of 26 documentary shorts produced between 1942 and 1945 by the U.S. Overseas Film Bureau, and intended to show foreign viewers something about America and it's values, this one focuses on the important institution in Washington D.C. which preserves written and other works that have been copyrighted, as part of the country's heritage.
