Parking is quite difficult around the Library, so you may wish to take a cab or Metro. The Metro stop is Capitol South on the Blue and Orange line. When you come up the escalator, walk about 1 ½ blocks uphill on First Street, and you will be in front of the Jefferson Building.

The Library has special arrangements for handicapped guests. Should you need to inquire, please call (202) 707-6362 or email ada@loc.gov .
