1. BACKGROUND
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Created by Congress in 1800, the Library of Congress is the major legislative library of the US Congress and the Supreme Court, the nation’s copyright agency and the world’s largest library: unique in the world and unmatched by any other research library in collec-tions and scope.
The Library of Congress occupies an important crossroads in American life, a place where the nation’s political and literary cultures intersect. Since the opening of its Thomas Jefferson Building in 1897, it has served as America’s de facto national library, a multifa-ceted cultural institution, an international leader in library and copyright matters, and an important innovator and partner in electronic and digital network development.
The Library’s unparalleled book, manuscript, music, map, sound recording, television, film, and graphic arts collections are the heart of the institution. The Library holds some of the world’s largest collections in almost all languages and media, from sheet music to comic books; founding documents such as Thomas Jefferson’s handwritten draft of the Declaration of Independence; the papers of twenty-three presidents; and the works of eminent Americans such as Samuel Morse, Frederick Douglass, Clara Barton, Carl Sagan, Leonard Bernstein, Bob Hope, and Thurgood Marshall. Just as important as the collection is the Library’s unsurpassed staff, com-prised of dedicated specialists and skilled and loyal individuals who both care for the collections and each year respond to millions of requests and visitors, both in person and online.
The purchase in 1815 of Thomas Jefferson’s wide-ranging personal library became the foundation of the modern Library of Congress.
The Jeffersonian concept of a universal library covering all subjects is the basis of the Library’s comprehensive collecting policies.
Jefferson’s belief that democracy depends on free access to knowledge eventually ensured the availability of the Library’s rich collec-tions and extensive services not only to Congress, but also to the nation and to the entire world.
The Library relies on both Federal and private dollars to care for its collections and exhibits, to create educational programming and present festivals and special programs. The US Congress provides a majority of the Library's $800 million budget but private donors are playing an increasingly important role in providing the resources necessary for the Library's exhibits and programming. On aver-age, the LOC raises between $7 million and $15 million annually in private support for exhibits, acquisitions, the National Book Fest-ival, fellowships, and Awards ceremonies.
Document Number: 030ADV19Q0098 Page 4 of 28
The Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden envisions the Library of Congress “as a place where we grow scholars, where we inspire young authors, where we connect with those individuals outside the limits of Washington and help them make history themselves.
This is a place where you can touch history and imagine your future.”
The Library of Congress Development Office conducts, coordinates, and tracks fundraising activities to support the Librarian’s priorit-ies, including acquisitions, cultural programs, educational outreach activities, and events.
ENHANCING THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE
There are three (3) Library Buildings located in Washington, D.C., on Capitol Hill. The newest is the James Madison Building, the second is the John Adams Building and the oldest is the Thomas Jefferson Building. There are also other off-site Library facilities that mainly serve as collection storage. The primary focus of the Library’s future fundraising will be to enhance the visitor experience within the Thomas Jefferson Building. Attention will be given to the Adams and Madison Buildings on a more limited scope.
When its doors opened to the public in 1897, the Library of Congress represented an unparalleled national achievement: its twenty-three-karat-gold-plated dome capped the “largest, costliest, and safest” library building in the world. Its elaborately decorated interior, embellished by works of art from more than forty American painters and sculptors, linked the United States to classical traditions of learning and simultaneously flexed American cultural and technological muscle . . . This new national “temple,” also a celebration of the American belief in knowledge-based democracy, immediately met with overwhelming approval from politicians and public alike.
The attention and appreciation deservedly given to the art and architecture of the Library of Congress building (known since 1980 as the Thomas Jefferson Building) sometimes obscures an important fact: it was built specifically to serve as the American national lib-rary and its architecture and decoration both express and enhance this fundamental purpose.”
Each year more than 1.9 million onsite visitors and users visit the Jefferson Building accessing its collections and learning from its ex-hibits. These exhibits, housed in nine galleries covering 19,000 square feet, have covered in the past few years a vast array of topics including the creation of the United States, the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, the American Civil War, the Abel Buell Map of the U.S., the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta, the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and have showcased treasures from the Library’s collections. Yet, these spaces, some of which are more than 20 years old are in need of upgrading, re-imagining and enhancing. The Library plans to create exhibits that showcase the collections in engaging ways that inspire learning and offer casual and repeat visitors the opportunity to interact directly with the Library's collections.
Education and Learning are at the heart of the Library’s mission. The Library plans to create an expanded Learning Center. The ex-isting Young Readers Center continues to grow in popularity with new programs and activities for children and families that attract more than 40,000 visitors each year. The Center hosts a beloved series of story times intended especially for children up to age 5.
Story times feature reading, music, and special guest authors. The Center also partners with children’s authors and with the Librarian of Congress to present their latest stories or as part of a themed presentation. The Library envisions expanding the center into a more encompassing Learning Center for families and children.
In 2018, the U.S. Congress provided funding for the Library to develop the initial Master Plan to re-envision the visitor experience.
This long-range plan proposes adaptations, redefinitions and improvements of public spaces in the Library of Congress’ Capitol Hill buildings in order to enhance the visitor experience in a contemporary context—reconsidering our approach to exhibitions and public programs and incorporating lessons learned from other relevant educational/cultural institutions as we move forward.
The U.S. Congress has provided an initial investment for the implementation of the new visitor experience plan, but requires that the fulfillment of the Master Plan be a public-private venture with the Library raising additional private funds. The Library welcomes this opportunity to reach out to the philanthropic community, build greater national awareness and involvement in its mission and engage individuals, corporations and foundations in this exciting and monumental new phase of the Library’s growth. This will be the Lib-rary’s first-ever major capital campaign.
The Library of Congress (LOC) needs a contractor with expertise in developing and conducting major cultural and library fund raising campaigns to provide a fundraising plan and a case statement.
