The largest library in the world is the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. According to its web site, http://loc.gov/about/reports, the library in 2006 had: "Total of 134,517,714 items in the collections, including: * 20,532,692 cataloged books in the Library of Congress classification system * 11,591,309 books in large type and raised characters, incunabula (books printed before 1501), monographs and serials, music, bound newspapers, pamphlets, technical reports, and other printed material" The division of material into cataloged books and then large type books and other items makes the total number of books unclear. The 2007-2008 edition of the American Library Directory states that the Library of Congress has 29,000,000 volumes. I would go with this number.
