What is the purpose of the Copyright Office located inside of the Library of Congress?

When registration was required for protection, the main purpose of the Copyright Office was to maintain records of registration. Now that protection is automatic, they still maintain records of formal registration, but a new role of the Copyright Office is to advise Congress on copyright issues, such as necessary updates and amendments to the law.
