e Libr'a'ry'of Congr ess Annex . Will Be Completed in 1938 New Structure, With-Addition to Main _Building, Almost L BY WILL P. KENNEDY. To meet the rapidly-growing needs of the largest library in the world— the Library of Congress—a new annex building is being erected on the square bounded by Second street, Esst Capi- tol street, Third street and B street southeast, directly east of the main building and just south of the Folger Library, which occupies the north side of the same square facing East Capitol street. This new building is to be completed by June 24, 1938. Its cost, including an addition to the main building already occupled, is $9,366,340. These structures were authorized by Congress in 1930, with a limit of cost of $6,500,000, but since then costs have increased more than 30 per sent, 50 on June.6, 1935, Congress appropriated an additional $2,866,340. Devid Lynn, architect of the Capitol, opened bids for the superstructure on May 15, 1935—and the building is now taking shape with the exterior masonry well up on the third story. To have this building conform with the other buildings of monumental character on Capitol Hill—such as the Folger Library and the new Supreme Court Building—the joint congres- rional commission decided it should be of white marble. This commis- sion is composed of Senators Barkley, Kentucky, and Norbeck, South Da- kota; Representative Keller, Illinois, and Treadway, Massachusetts, an Architect Lynn. ‘The urgent need for the structure was emphasized in a report to Con- dress by the House Appropriations Committee. Library Grows With Nation. The Library of Congress has had & wonderful growth, paralleling that of the Nation itself, since it was first in- stalled in what was for many years called the Supreme Court section cf the Capitoi. From this modest be- gnning it continued to grow in im- portance and usefulness until, in 1897, the present building was com- pleted. Before its erection the Library Rad been enlarged from time to time until it occupied the entire western | front of the central portion of the Capitol. Its accommodations, how- ever, were very meager as compared with accommodations at the present time. While in the Capitol its capacity was 13,360 lineal feet of shelving with When Occupied. Will Be Outgrown amount of space is provided for as- sorting and arranging of newspapers, | magazines, etc., previous to their de- livery to the bindery. There will be 12 decks of beokstacks in the annex building, each deck having a storage capacity of approxi- mately 850.000 volumes.. The top floor of the building will ‘be occupied by special collections with their stacks, reading rooms, etc. ‘This annex building will be equipped with the most modern facilities for buildings used for library purposes, elevators, pneumatic tubes, book car- riers, vacuum cleaning apparatus, im- proved fire protection, air conditioning and general heating and ventilation. A tunnel will connect the annex build- ing with the main library building. In the new addition to the main library building there are enlarged ac- commodations for mailing and ship- ping with a garage, bibliography, union catalogue, card index, Slavic book collection and a rare book division with its exhibition and reading rooms and bookstacks accommodating ap- proximately 120,000 volumes. This ad- dition is approximately 145 feet wide and projects 50 feet beyond the face of the parent building. It is faced with granite harmonizing in design with the building of which it is a part.
