Event Facilities
Effective July 1, 2003
The Library of Congress Special Events program will begin to operate
as part of the statutory revolving fund established by the Library
of Congress Fiscal Operations Improvement Act, 2 U.S.C. § 182b.
The shift primarily involves changes in the operation of the Special
Events office, including the accounting systems and record keeping
for the program. The Special Events "Agreement for Use of Library
Facilities by Outside Organizations" is being modified, and
certain changes in the program's nomenclature are being implemented.
At this time, costs will not change, but "contributions"
will be replaced with "administrative fees." |

Is your organization interested in having its next
dinner or reception on Capitol Hill?
The Library of Congress offers some beautiful rooms in
its Jefferson and Madison Buildings, located at the corner of First
Street and Independence Avenue, S.E., for evening events.
The Library of Congress, the largest library in the world
and America's oldest federal cultural institution, was founded in 1800
to serve the needs of Congress. The Library has grown into an unparalleled
treasure house of the world's knowledge and America's creativity. Your
guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the architecture
and collections of the Library of Congress through viewing its exhibits
such as the "American Treasures of the Library of Congress"
and "World Treasures of the Library of Congress," and meeting
Library of Congress staff.
