President Herbert Hoover first conceived of using the room as a library in 1935. Mrs. Millard Fillmore was the one who pushed Congress to pay for a permanent White House book collection.
According to the Library of Congress website, there are currently 32 million books in the library. With more than 142 million items (including recordings, photographs, maps) on more than 650 miles of shelving, the library adds about 10,000 to its collection per day. What started out as a room of just 3,000 books in the Capitol Building has now become the oldest book collection in the nation and the largest library in the world. And thanks to digital technology and a dedicated staff, that collection is not only growing, but it is also becoming more readily available to the world.
