Some users may find the size of the Library of Congress website to be a little intimidating. For this reason,
the site is broken up into sections, making navigation much easier and searching much simpler. Below, you will find descriptions
and links to sections of the LOC site which, we believe, are most relevant to the classroom teacher.
