By nearly all measures, the Library of Congress holds the record as the world’s largest library. The Library of Congress houses over 30 million volumes, contains over 745 miles of shelf space, employs around 3000 people and has an annual budget of over $300 million. The Library of Congress can also be accessed online.
Although there are no official records regarding the world’s smallest libraries, housing around 50 volumes, citizens of a village in England may have converted a phone booth into the world’s smallest library. Visit the BBC News for an article on the smallest library.
