Enhance your knowledge and literary skills at the Library of
Congress (LOC), Books that Shaped America
exhibit
. The exhibit, which opened on June 25,
2012, displays books that have played a strong role in shaping America. From
Benjamin Franklin’s, “Experiments and Observations on Electricity” (1751) to César
Chávez, "The Words of César Chávez" (2002), the exhibit will
provide an opportunity to see how we have evolved and to gain an appreciation
of how each book played a role in American life.
While each of these books has played an important role in
our country, they are ‘by no means the only ones’ to have played a role in
shaping America. For more information
on the exhibit and to learn how the book selections were determined, please
visit the LOC website.
The exhibit is open June 25 – September 29, 2012,
Monday-Saturday, 8am-4:30pm. The exhibit
is located in the LOC Thomas Jefferson Building, Southwest Gallery-2nd
floor., 10 First Street, SE, Washington, DC.
If you are unable to explore the display in person, an online
version is also available.
Reading is a great way to enhance your critical
thinking and writing skills. If you are
